Facemasks are mandatory on public transport.
Public gatherings are allowed. Social, cultural, and political events are allowed.

International Travel Restrictions
Passenger flights are operating, as are humanitarian, medical, and cargo flights. All incoming and departing travelers must produce a negative result from a COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours before travel. If someone on board a flight to Guinea-Bissau is thought to have COVID-19, travelers may be required to isolate at one location for 14 days.

Advice
Follow all official directives. Abide by national health and safety measures. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates and guidance. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions. Reconsider and reconfirm nonemergency health appointments.
