According to a report on schengenvisainfo.com, which was obtained by Onyxnews Nigeria, citizens from Nigeria, Brazil, Qatar, the US and Russia would not be allowed to travel into Europe until the epidemiological condition in their countries regarding to COVID-19 improves.

“The European Union has an internal process to determine from which countries it would be safe to accept travellers,” EU Commission spokesman Eric Mamer said last Thursday, adding that its decisions are “based on health criteria.”
This is happening after the EU commission had on June 11, presented its recommendation on the reopening of internal Schengen borders on June 15, so that Europeans could travel without hitch within the borderless areas just as they did before the initial outbreak of COVID19 pandemic.
