PARIS, May 3 (CNN) - France will not impose a 14-day quarantine on travelers from the Schengen area of the European Union or the UK, the Elysée Palace confirmed to CNN on Sunday.

This is regardless of the nationality of those traveling to France.

Sunday’s statement appears to be a direct contradiction of health minister Olivier Véran’s statement a day earlier of a proposed measure to quarantine all people entering France from “abroad, Corsica and other overseas territory.”

The French government will move to extend a state of emergency over coronavirus for around two months in a set of measures to be proposed to Parliament on Tuesday.

The Schengen area is a zone of 26 European countries that do not have internal borders and allow people to move between them freely, including countries such as Spain, France, Greece, Germany, Italy and Poland.

The Elysée Palace would not comment on whether travelers from the US would be subject to quarantine measures if entering France.
