Given that vaccination in the Old Continent is advancing despite the ups and downs with the lack of doses and the suspension of the application of the AstraZeneca vaccine by some countries such as Denmark or the Netherlands, the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Peru lifted the measure that prohibited passenger flights from Europe, although it will maintain the restrictions on those who come from the United Kingdom, Brazil and South Africa or have been in those countries in the previous two weeks.
The need for a mandatory 14-day quarantine was also eliminated for all tourists, who must present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to the flight that will be complemented with one antigen test that can be performed upon arrival in Peru.
«The Government of Peru, through the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, ratifies its permanent commitment to the tourism sector, recognizing its contribution in making our millenary culture known in the context of the bicentennial of Independence» they stated from the government.
«The adoption of these new actions respond to the changes in the current health emergency, which is permanently evaluated in order to protect the health of citizens» they added.
Regarding the domestic market, the government will no longer require PCR tests for passengers heading to the interior of the country but they will still have to complete a health affidavit.
