Those arriving from countres classified as a red zone will be required to provide, in addition to a certificate of vaccination or of having undergone Covid-19, a negative result of a PCR test conducted within 72 hours prior to arriving.

This was decided by the newly formed pandemic committee at the Ministry of Health, which met for the first time today, January 4.
