I want to fly from Croatia to the US. I am a US citizen, so I know that I will be able to get into the US. However, with COVID-19 restriction in place, am I able to take a flight with layovers in the Schengen area?

The exact flight that I am looking at includes going from Zagreb to Paris to New York.

I have already seen Are layovers included in the Schengen to USA COVID-19 travel ban?, but that is asking about restrictions on traveling to the US, not about restrictions on travelling through the Schengen area.

    Keep in mind that while you will be able to enter the US, your flight must be to a designated airport, and you will have to self-quarantine at home for 14 days.
