As of this Sunday Cuba started receiving <\/span>international travelers<\/span><\/a> without having to undergo a mandatory quarantine or submit a negative PCR test or perform it upon arrival, although they must carry a health passport with those COVID-19 vaccines certified so far by regulatory agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuban health authorities decided to modify the International Health Control measures adopted in the community transmission phase in light of the advance of mass vaccination on the island, with which they plan to reach more than 90% of the population by the end of this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

For several weeks, the curve of infections and deaths due to <\/span>coronavirus<\/span><\/a> has been reduced gradually and steadily in most of the fifteen Cuban provinces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelers who arrive without a document proving their COVID-19 vaccination must present a negative PCR certification \u2014 carried out within 72 hours before taking a flight to Cuba \u2014 issued by a licensed laboratory in their country of origin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new reopening measures exempt children under 12, regardless of nationality, from showing a vaccination certificate or a PCR test upon arrival.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of Cuban travelers \u2014 residents or not in the country \u2014 who arrive without a vaccination scheme applied or a negative PCR, they will be tested on the island and will have to serve a ten-day period of institutional isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n
