BRUSSELS, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU) member states on Tuesday adopted a common color code to define the level of risk related to the coronavirus outbreak, region by region, a move to avoid fragmentation and disruption.

"Travel restrictions have made it difficult for some of our citizens to get to work, to university or to visit their loved ones.

Germany currently holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU.
