The Brazilian Federal Government issued an announcement on the evening of the 17th announcing that from December 30th, all passengers entering Brazil by plane will need to provide a certificate of negative COVID-19 test 72 hours before boarding.
In addition, passengers also need to sign a letter of commitment before entering Brazil, promising to abide by the relevant domestic epidemic prevention measures in Brazil.
Passengers who refuse to sign the undertaking will face repatriation and fines.
The announcement also maintained the previously implemented restrictions on foreigners entering Brazil by land, water and air.
People are allowed to enter under certain special circumstances, such as foreigners who have a fixed residence in Brazil, have a Brazilian spouse, and those who travel to Brazil due to the mission of an international organization.
The Brazilian Federal Supreme Court passed a decision on the evening of the 17th, stipulating that the new crown vaccination is "mandatory" in Brazil, which means that the public has the obligation to receive the new crown vaccine.
“Compulsory” vaccination does not mean “compulsive” vaccination. Those who refuse vaccination may be subject to some restrictive measures or penalties, such as prohibition of entering and leaving certain public places, being unable to enter school, etc., because individual decisions cannot harm the collective interest.
The sanctions will be determined by the Brazilian federal government, state governments and municipal governments.
