COVID-19: State of emergency extended, entry requirement added

IMPACT – MEDIUM

The government of Peru has extended the current state of national emergency through Sept. 30. Peru’s borders continue to be closed. There is no international travel by land, sea or air, except for humanitarian reasons. For the limited travelers allowed into Peru, a new entry requirement has been added.

Key Points:

• Any traveler entering or leaving Peru must fill out an online health form and a self-isolation commitment form.
• The form must be filled out 72 hours before travel and submitted online to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health.
• Peru’s borders have been closed since March, therefore, only travelers under certain exemptions are being allowed to travel into the country.

Additional Information: Health measures meant to contain the spread of COVID-19 were extended earlier this month for an additional 90 days. No social gatherings of any kind are allowed, including gatherings in homes. During the state of emergency, private vehicles cannot be used on Sundays. A nationwide curfew is in place from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, an all-day quarantine remains in effect for most of Peru.
