On 29 July we published a list of countries Americans can visit, with information on COVID-19 quarantining, testing, paperwork, etc.
Here are new additions:
Americas
- Brazil - Must show proof of health insurance that will be valid throughout stay. Note that Brazil is under a US State Department Level 4 Travel Advisory (Do Not Travel) because of high level of COVID-19 infections.
- Costa Rica - As of 1 September, residents (verified by driver's license) of CT, ME, NH, NJ, NY and VT may enter if they complete documentation, pass a COVID-19 test taken within 48 hours of arrival, and show proof of travel medical insurance.
- Ecuador - Must present proof of COVID-19 PCR test taken within 10 days of arrival, or quarantine at own expense until a negative test result is received. Visitors to Galapagos Islands tourist sites must also take and pass another COVID-19 PCR test, and present negative results of a test taken within 96 hours of arrival in the country.
- Haiti - Complete documentation and quarantine for 14 days. The Ministry of Public Health will contact visitors 3 times after arrival, to determine onset of COVID-19 symptoms.
- Honduras - Negative COVID-19 PCR or serology test required. Visitors showing symptoms may be quarantined. Note that Honduras is under a US State Department Level 4 Travel Advisory (Do Not Travel) because of high level of COVID-19 infections and crime.
