Schengen area[edit]

The map seems to be a bit confused in terms of the Schengen Area/EU and not consistent with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_restrictions_related_to_the_2019#Europe. Should it show countries that have a ban on entry from outside the Schengen Area or countries that have a ban on entry from any other country? At the moment it seems to be a mix of both. Maybe two different colours could be used, one for countries that ban all journeys and another one for countries that only ban journeys from outside the EU?

Based on the history it seems the countries within the Schengen area were added based on the 17 March ban. However, the countries that are not listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_restrictions_related_to_the_2019#Europe allow travel within the EU (assuming that page is up to date). Also, recently Sweden was removed from this map. However, the linked page used as a basis for that did not provide any information to support that. It is still not possible to travel to Sweden from outside the EU (as a general rule, there are some exceptions), based on the information from the government at www.regeringen.se/artiklar/2020/04/fragor-och-svar--inresestopp-till-eu-via-sverige/ (google translate).
