Any measures restricting free movement must be proportionate and non-discriminatory. Member States must not, in principle, refuse entry to persons traveling from other Member States.
The national authorities are responsible for issuing the certificate. It could be issued, for example, by testing centers or health authorities, or directly through an e-health portal.

From now on, travelers wishing to enter France must carry a certificate specifying their status and the reason for the trip, a measure adopted by the Government to restrict access to French territory in the framework of the state of health emergency decreed to fight the coronavirus epidemic.
The Ministry of the Interior has posted on its website (www.interieur.gouv.fr) three different certificates for international travel: one for travel from abroad to metropolitan France, one for travel from abroad to French overseas territories and a third for travel from metropolitan France to overseas.
In the second case, passengers must undergo a health check upon arrival, which may require them to comply with a quarantine in a specially designated place or at home.
The documents are available in French and English and must be signed before boarding and during arrival controls at any type of border, whether by air, sea or rail.
