Brazilian health regulator Anvisa recommended that Covid-19 travel restrictions be eased due to a drop in cases and deaths, requiring only full vaccination and doing away with quarantine for unvaccinated travellers.

People entering the country who have not been vaccinated will still need to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test result, but quarantining will be eliminated immediately, Reuters reports.

Travellers' health declarations used for tracing Covid cases will no longer be required, with immediate effect, while testing for vaccinated travelers will be suspended from May 1, Anvisa said.
