The new type of coronavirus is putting a spanner in the works of freedom of travel in many places.

Brazil is also planning to tighten the reins for vaccinated travelers. Because of the not yet fully researched Omikron variant, a tougher approach is necessary. According to this, people who cannot provide proof of vaccination should begin self-isolation for five days immediately after entering the country. This can only be exited through a negative PCR test. That announced the Minister of Health of the Country at. Until now, it was sufficient for those who have been vaccinated to submit a negative PCR test upon entry; a quarantine did not have to be entered into. When and how the regulation will be implemented is unclear. In Brazil, a dispute is raging between the vaccine-skeptical, right-wing populist President Jair Bolsonaro and the health authorities over corona policy.
