Tourists will have to take two COVID-19 tests to enter Cuba
Authority Cuba The protocols for receiving foreign tourists have been changed.
From January 10, 2021, international travelers flying to Cuba will need a certificate of negative PCR test for coronavirus, made 72 hours before departure.
The current protocols remain in force: all arrivals are given a PCR test for COVID-19 on arrival, the result of which will be in 24 hours.
That is, tourists, including Russians, will undergo PCR testing for covid twice: the first time - before going to Cuba, the second - in the country.
All airlines will require a certificate with a negative PCR test for coronavirus before boarding Cuban flights. Without this document, the carrier will not allow the passenger to board.
A certificate with a PCR test will need to be shown at border control - along with a passport and a declaration of health.
Russian airlines AZUR air and Nordwind, which have been flying to Cayo Coco since November, will check the results of PCR tests made in Russian before landing.
The diplomatic mission noted that “the main thing is that the test was done no earlier than 72 hours before the departure time. This is especially true for regional tourists who fly from Moscow to Cayo Coco.
