Non-vaccinated residents will not have to observe self-isolation when arriving in Latvia from Monaco, Malta, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and the Vatican.

According to the data of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, the 14-day cumulative morbidity rate per 100,000 population in Latvia is currently 398.0, but a week ago it was 316.7. The average incidence rate in the EEA and EU countries is currently 147.1.

In Estonia, the indicator has increased and reached 529.9 last week (462.1 a week earlier). Lithuania’s indicator, on the other hand, has increased from 506.8 to 645.7.

In turn, outside the EU and the EEA, non-vaccinated people will have to observe self-isolation after returning from Great Britain, Canada, Singapore, Jordan, Australia, Ukraine. The “green” countries currently include Qatar, Uruguay, Rwanda, Chile, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan, Kuwait, as well as the Macao SAR and the Hong Kong SAR.

When entering Latvia from a country where the 14-day cumulative number of Covid-19 cases per 100,000 population exceeds 75, it is mandatory to observe ten-day self-isolation. The self-isolation time may be reduced if the test is repeated on the seventh day and is negative. The test result must be recorded in the test certificate. Self-isolation may be waived by persons with a valid vaccination or disease certificate.

Children under the age of 12 (until 1 September 2021 – also other minors) traveling with adults who are exempt from the requirement of self-isolation may disregard self-isolation. However, in such cases, children do not have close contacts with persons outside their household, do not attend public events, children’s groups, do not use public transport for ten days after leaving the high-risk country.
