Covid Ease: Finland to Remove Entry restrictions for fully-vaccinated travelers
Share:

The  Finland government said on Tuesday that travellers fully vaccinated against Covid-19, or with proof of having recovered from the disease, can enter Finland without any additional tests from Monday. IN addition, people from countries and regions defined by Finland as "safe" can enter the country without testing as of Monday, too. The temporary changes on entry policy are valid until mid-October, said the government.

Travellers lacking the required full vaccinations, nor with documents showing recovery from the disease, must be tested upon their arrival in Finland. A person coming with a negative Covid-19 test result less than three days old can enter the country, but must be tested within three to five days. Persons with only one dose of the vaccine must be tested on the border as well, said the government. The revised legislation on border health security, on which the new entry policy is based, was passed by the parliament last Friday and signed into law by President Sauli Niinisto on Tuesday, as per reports.

According to a list published at the government website, the countries and regions eligible as safe from Monday would be Australia, the Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), the Macao SAR, Iceland, Israel, Malta, Poland, San Marino, Singapore, New Zealand, the Vatican and several municipalities in Norway.
