With a sharp drop in cases, the Icelandic authorities also mentioned how 81 per cent of their population is fully vaccinated

There are now “no disease prevention measures at the borders for passengers travelling to Iceland,” regardless of whether individuals are vaccinated or unvaccinated, authorities said on February 27. Along with this, travellers will no longer have to provide proof of vaccination or prior infection and restrictions have been lifted on social gatherings or quarantine requirements for those infected by Covid-19.

Authorities in Iceland said 81 per cent of the eligible population is now fully vaccinated, with vaccinations for 5-to-11-year-olds currently being administered. Sigríður Dögg Guðmundsdóttir, head of Visit Iceland, said: “We are happy to announce that there are now no restrictions at the borders or within the country. Icelandic authorities have taken a measured approach to Covid-19 throughout the pandemic under the advisement of medical experts and scientists. I feel confident that our revised protocols are a reasoned step in the right direction. We look forward to welcome visitors and share all the wonders that Iceland has to offer.”
