Event
Authorities in Kyrgyzstan are maintaining COVID-19-related restrictions as of Nov. 15.
Travel Restrictions
All international arrivals entering by air must produce proof of full vaccination or a negative result from a COVID-19 PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before arrival. Diplomats, international transport crews, freight drivers, and infants are exempt from this requirement. Authorities may require arrivals to undergo a medical check-up, including a visual assessment and temperature check. Those who show symptoms of COVID-19 may be retested, taken to a state medical facility, or asked to isolate at their accommodation.
Domestic Measures
Domestic inter-regional transport services, including flights between Bishkek and Osh, are operating, though may have reduced services. Passengers could need to undergo health screenings before boarding. Most businesses are operating subject to social distancing requirements.
Authorities continue to advise against nonessential travel, and all persons leaving their accommodations must carry a contact-tracing form. Public gatherings are prohibited. Facemasks are mandatory on public transport and on some business premises.
Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
Advice
Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Consider delaying traveling if experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, as they may prompt increased scrutiny and delays. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates and guidance. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation.
