Birding in Brazil in 2021? Negative COVID-19 test and Traveler´s Health Declaration are required now. (1 Viewer)

[birdclub]

These are the latest updates:

• Effective December 17, Brazil extended the restrictions on entry of foreigners by land (unless for transit) and sea, for an indefinite period.
• The entry of foreign visitors traveling by air for a short stay of up to 90 days is currently permitted but beginning December 30, all travelers to Brazil by air (Brazilians and foreigners) must present the following to the airline before boarding:

1) Negative COVID-19 test: specifically, a document from a laboratory test (RT-PCR) for screening for infection by SARS-CoV-2, with a negative/non-reactive result, performed within 72 hours prior to the moment of boarding; and
2) Traveler’s Health Declaration (DSV): filled out (in print or digitally) agreeing to sanitary measures that must be complied with during the traveler’s time in Brazil. Note: the Brazilian government has not issued the specifics of this document yet but it is understood that the form will be distributed prior to boarding the airplane to Brazil.

- While Brazil no longer requires proof of health insurance to enter the country, we continue to recommend that all travelers purchase insurance before departing to Brazil or verify that their existing health insurance will cover them while abroad. We do not provide health insurance and do not pay medical bills.

Anything and everything we can do to put an end to this Virus is fine with me.
