Chile lifts all remaining Covid-related travel restrictions

Chile’s ministry of health has confirmed visitors will no longer need to provide evidence of a recent negative PCR test for Covid-19, or a valid vaccination certificate, nor will they be subject to random testing.

Authorities have nonetheless urged tourists to maintain some of the hygiene and self-care measures introduced over the past three years, including frequent hand washing and the use of masks where necessary.

The announcement comes after the US formally ended its vaccination requirements last week following pressure from the travel industry.
