The Minsa announced that this new measure will take effect from next Monday, June 21.
The head of the Ministry of Health of Panama (
Minsa), Luis Francisco
Sucre announced that in coordination with the inter-institutional team they have decided since Monday, June 21, that every Panamanian traveler who enters the country and carries the complete vaccination card, plus a proof of negative
COVID-19, carried out less than 48 hours after entering the country, should not undergo the three-day quarantine.
The head of the
Minsa pointed out that the
COVID-19 test can be carried out in the country where they come from or at the airport through which they enter the country.
The
