La Nación / They will require a complete vaccination scheme against COVID-19 to enter Paraguay

Starting tomorrow, the complete vaccination scheme against COVID-19 will be required to enter our country, as announced this Friday by the Ministry of Public Health.

From this May 28, the new health requirements for entering the national territory come into effect. The main novelty lies in the requirement of the complete anti-COVID vaccination scheme for travelers over 12 years of age, whether nationals, foreigners and foreign residents in the country.

From the Health portfolio they clarify that it is considered a complete and updated scheme if it has:

* 3 doses (2 doses and 1 booster)

* 2 doses, with less than 6 months of application of the second dose

* For single-dose primary scheme vaccines, less than 3 months from its application

* For single-dose primary schedule vaccines, you must have 1 booster if 3 months or more have elapsed since the application of the first dose

TRAVELERS WITHOUT COMPLETE AND UPDATED VACCINATION CERTIFICATE

Those travelers over 12 years of age who do not have a complete and up-to-date vaccination certificate must present a COVID-19 test (RNA detection techniques: RT-PCR / LAMP / NAAT) with a negative result, carried out in a time not exceeding 72 hours from shipment.

For their part, travelers who have suffered from the disease from 10 to 90 days prior to entering Paraguayan territory must prove this situation through laboratory results, either with an anti-COVID test or with a positive antigen test.

NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMERCIAL LAND TRANSIT OF UP TO 72 HOURS

All persons who enter under the neighborhood transit regime must prove that they reside in the border city through a document. In this case, no health requirement is requested for entry to Paraguayan soil.
