The requirements that remain in force are those of “Book and pay for a Covid-19 test to be taken within two days from arrival” and “complete a passenger location form, which must be filled out within 48 hours prior to arrival”, specify the note.
The same requirements, “without the need for quarantine,” also apply to people under 18 residing in Argentina “although they are not vaccinated,” the text noted.
Instead, for those who “do not have a vaccination certificate or have been vaccinated with vaccines that have not yet been approved by the UK”, more stringent obligations remain in force.
Those passengers must be a Covid-19 test in the three days prior to the trip, book and pay PCR tests to be taken between two and eight days after arrival, complete the location form 48 hours before the trip and keep quarantine for 10 days in the place where you are going to stay, detailed the statement.
These measures are contained in a resolution of the Department of Transportation that added 30 countries -among them, Argentina- to its list of recognition of vaccination certificates and resolved to eliminate the “red list” of countries of origin of tourists, from which Argentina had been removed on the 11th of this month.
