As the vaccinated population rises, and the number of Covid cases and deaths begin to fall, Cuba is loosening many of its restrictions:
Starting November 7, the quarantine requirement will be eliminated.

Vaccinated travelers able to show their certificate will not be required to take a PCR prior to arrival. All international vaccines will be recognized.

Non-vaccinated travelers must show negative results of a PCR taken no more than 72 hours in advance.

Children under 12 years old will not be required to show vaccination certificate or have a negative PCR test.

PCR tests will be performed only on travelers displaying symptoms and there will also be random PCR testing at the airport. Travelers showing symptoms will be taken to a health institution and tested.

Masks will be required in the airport and throughout the country, as will social distancing, temperature checks and other hygienic measures.

Owners of casa particulares will be required to report symptoms to health authorities.

To board a plane in Cuba, travelers must show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR taken less than 72 hours in advance.

Restaurants, nightclubs, museums, cultural venues, beaches, pools, and other recreation locations have all opened at limited capacity and curfews have been removed.

Ground transportation will resume but domestic flights do not yet have a plan to resume service.
