LA PAZ,
Bolivia on Thursday announced tighter travel regulations, including a 10-day quarantine for anyone arriving from abroad, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Those entering the South American country by air, land or water must present a certificate of negative PCR test for COVID-19 carried out up to 72 hours before their departure.
Visitors must guarantee they have health insurance, except Bolivians, who are covered by the Unified Health System, and foreigners with permanent residency in Bolivia.
Bolivian President Luis Arce announced via Twitter that as of Friday, the country will close its border with Brazil for a week to prevent the entry of a virus variant reported in Brazil, which is considered to be more contagious.
Bolivia has so far reported 272,411 cases with 12,257 deaths from the disease.
