Health Ministry (MINSAP) announced that Cuba will no longer request a negative PCR test or a vaccination certificate as requirements for travelers wishing to enter the country.

The Cuban government indicated that this decision considers the international and national epidemiological situation and the levels of immunization achieved against the coronavirus.

The MINSAP Epidemiology director Francisco Duran announced that the new policy will take effect as of Wednesday. However, authorities will continue to carry out random tests at the Island’s entry points and maintain the mandatory use of masks.

The measure is part of the relaxation in the requirements for tourists that Cuba has been taking since the end of 2021. On Nov. 15, 2021, this country stopped requiring travelers to be quarantined after overcoming several months of rising infections.
