RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Bolivia’s Government modified the epidemiological surveillance measures for travelers coming from abroad to Bolivia, thus sealing the agreement reached by the Government with the tourism sector in the last hours.
In a press conference, the Minister of Health, Jeyson Auza, informed that, from now on, travelers coming from abroad must present their vaccination card against coronavirus in physical or digital format.
If they do not present the immunization certificate, they must show a negative PCR test done up to 72 hours before boarding or entry, depending on whether they are air or land travelers. The country will also admit a negative antigen test 48 hours before entry.
When asked if Bolivia would withdraw the use of the mask and other biosecurity measures, he answered: “At some point, surely yes,” but he remarked that the country would not necessarily do the same as other countries.
“Any measure to remove all the biosecurity mechanisms should be seriously analyzed,” he added.
He remarked that 558 cases of covid-19 were registered last week, the lowest figure of the pandemic.
