Event
Authorities in Honduras have extended the nation's COVID-19-related 22:00-05:00 curfew until at least April 25. All other measures remain unchanged.
Officials continue to strictly enforce health, sanitization, and other operating protocols at commercial establishments regardless of the curfew. All banks, supermarkets, shopping centers, and shops nationwide are limited to operating at 50 percent capacity. Businesses that are allowed to operate must ensure that all patrons wear protective facemasks covering their mouths and noses, use hand sanitizer, and practice social distancing. Social gatherings are limited to no more than 10 people. Bars, discotheques, theaters, cinemas, gyms, sporting centers, and convention centers are closed; certain other types of establishments that encourage large group gatherings also remain closed. Nationally, senior citizens, pregnant women, and persons with disabilities will continue to have special access to authorized commercial establishments 07:00-09:00 and banks 09:00-10:00.
International Travel
Authorities have reopened the country's airports and land border crossings to international travel following an extended closure but are enforcing enhanced entry requirements for all travelers. All travelers must present a negative result from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours before departure for Honduras and a completed pre-arrival (prechequeo) travel form. Passengers departing via the land borders are also required to complete the online prechequeo form. Travelers may be subjected to additional COVID-19 testing upon arrival. The use of a facemask is required at all times while traveling.
Authorities could reimpose, extend, tighten, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice, depending on local disease activity.
Advice
Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Reconfirm all travel arrangements. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions.
