COVID-19: National emergency, restrictions on entry from Brazil, South Africa, U.K. extended

Peru has extended its national COVID-19 emergency and its ban on travel from Brazil, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Key Points:

• Officials have extended the national emergency until April 30. Most provinces remain on “very high” or “extreme” alert, with most of the Lima region on “very high,” except for Barranca, Huaura and Huarochirí provinces, which are on “extreme” alert. Curfews and restrictions on internal travel remain in effect in most of the country. More information is available here.
• Non-resident foreign nationals traveling from Brazil, South Africa or the United Kingdom will not be permitted to enter Peru until at least April 11. This ban does not apply to Peruvian citizens or residents, but it does apply to foreign nationals who have transited through or otherwise been present in any of the three countries in the last 14 days.
• Flights from other countries are permitted in accordance with Ministry of Transport and Communications regulations.
