Where can I find the Belize Health App?

The Belize Health App can be downloaded here. The App can be downloaded at any time prior to your trip to Belize, but your information should be entered no more than 72 hours prior to your arrival in Belize.

From December 30th 2020 foreign visitors or Brazilians who wish to enter Brazil by air, must present a PCR Test, carried out a maximum of 72 hours in advance with negative or non-reactive COVID-19 result, in order to board the aircraft.

The RT-PCR test must be carried out by a laboratory approved by the health authority of the country of departure, and the negative/non-reactive result for SARS-CoV-2 should be written in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.

If the passenger takes a flight with connection or stopover where he remains in a restricted area of the airport, the seventy-two hours period will consider the boarding in the first part of the travel. If the journey exceeds 72 hours since the RT-PCR test, the traveler must present a document proving the performance of a new test with a negative or non-reactive result for the SARS-CoV-2 at check-in for the departure to Brazil.

All travelers (of all ages) will have to present three documents when boarding:

1. A completed “Affidavit of Travelers” electronic form (available at https://www.c19.cl/ and also known as a Sanitary Passport) prepared less than 48 hours before boarding;
2. Proof of a negative result from a PCR result from a test taken within 72 hours prior to departure (Note: the 72-hour time period begins from the time the test is administered- not from when the test results are returned);
3. Proof of a health insurance policy that provides coverage for Covid-19 and related health issues during the traveler’s stay in Chile.

The following requirements remain during the pandemic:

1. Complete the digital form called HEALTH PASS and available at https://salud.go.cr.

   This pass will be available 48 hours before boarding. It must be accessed in an updated browser. An individual form must be completed for every person, including minors.

2. Purchase health insurance: It is mandatory that tourists purchase travel insurance, covering their accommodations in case of quarantine and medical expenses due to COVID-19 illness. An explanation of one’s travel insurance coverage, addressing Costa Rica’s requirements, must be uploaded or entered into the HEALTH PASS in order to be reviewed and approved by the Costa Rican authorities.

   If more information on international insurance is needed, the Costa Rican authorities will contact the passenger at the email address indicated in the HEALTH PASS. In the case of international insurance, the tourist must request from their insurer a certification issued in English or Spanish, noting at least three conditions, without forgetting to add it to the HEALTH PASS:

   1) Validity of the effective policy during the visit in Costa Rica.

   2) Guarantee of coverage for medical expenses in cases of pandemic disease COVID 19 in Costa Rica, for at least US $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars of the United States of America).

   3) Minimum coverage of US $2,000 for extended lodging expenses due to pandemic illness or trip interruption/cancellation due to illness, which covers the extra cost of the passenger due to quarantine.

All travelers over 18 years of age arriving in Ecuador should provide proof of a negative COVID PCR test taken no more than 10 days before entering the country. As long as the traveler does not present symptoms of COVID, the traveler does not need to perform mandatory preventive quarantine and they may freely move within the continental territory of Ecuador (NOTE: Special rules apply for the Galapagos Islands; see below).

The Government of Ecuador requires all travelers who do not provide the results of a PCR test to undertake, at their own expense, a PCR test upon arrival in country. The traveler must then proceed immediately to quarantine in a hotel, hostel, motel or other temporary accommodation authorized for such purpose. If the traveler receives a negative test result, the traveler may terminate the quarantine. If the traveler receives a positive test result, the traveler must continue the quarantine and necessary health care will be provided.

A traveler who presents symptoms of COVID upon arrival in Ecuador is required to perform a RT-PCR test at their own expense and proceed to quarantine even if the traveler presents a negative PCR test at the airport of entry.
