Uruguay: Authorities maintain COVID-19-related restrictions as of Feb. 3 /update 30

Event

Authorities in Uruguay continue to maintain COVID-19-related restrictions as of Feb. 3. All foreign nationals who enter the country must show that they have completed vaccination within nine months before departing for Uruguay. Persons who can show a positive RT-PCR test confirming disease infection no more than 90 and no fewer than 20 days before departure are exempt from the vaccine requirement, as are minors. Additionally, all arriving passengers must present a negative result from a COVID-19 RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours before departure for Uruguay. Individuals must take a second RT-PRC test seven days after their arrival. Incoming travelers must also fill out an affidavit about their health, vaccination status, and testing history no less than 48 hours before their departure.

Domestically, authorities maintain certain capacity limits for parties and large public events.

Officials could further tighten, ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on local disease activity. Authorities could enforce targeted local measures in some areas assessed to be high risk.
