SIPA

People wishing to go to Corsica during the end of the year celebrations must have done a PCR or antigen test 72 hours before boarding a boat or a plane to the Mediterranean island, the prefect announced on Saturday.

Obtaining a negative test for Covid-19 will be a required condition from December 19 and until January 8 to be able to travel to Corsica for all people over the age of eleven, said the prefect, Pascal. Lelarge, and the director general of the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Corsica, Marie-Hélène Lecenne during a press conference in Ajaccio.

Minimum declaration on honor

They said they had conducted a "wide consultation" with the economic and health actors of the island before arriving at these measures.

“This obligation will consist in carrying out a test within 72 hours before boarding.

We consider that the very wide availability of tests, whether PCR or antigenic, should not pose any difficulty for visitors, ”explained the prefect.

If the results of these tests will not be directly requested by the various airlines or shipping companies from passengers, the latter must complete a sworn statement before boarding certifying that they are not positive for Covid-19 and do not present no symptoms.

A system already more flexible than overseas

"People must have on them and be able to present, in the event of a police check, proof from the laboratory or the pharmacy proving that they have passed the test", underlined the prefect.

Any breach will be noted.

To ensure the proper functioning of this system, controls will be put in place in island ports and airports, on arrival and departure.

However, the system is intended to be more flexible than that set up in the overseas territories where travelers from mainland France must prove a negative test because it cannot give rise to a denial of boarding stricto sensu. .
