Similar warnings were also issued for Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. Dutch travelers were also cautioned against visiting several regions of Austria, including Nieder-Östereich, Tyrol and Vorarlberg. It covers such cities as Vienna and Innsbruck.

All of the travel alerts were due to rising cases of coronavirus infections. A Code Orange warning is issued when the Dutch government advises that all non-essential trips to a country be cancelled.
