The national government yesterday authorized the opening, with protocols, of the Santo Tomé-São Borga land border crossing, which links the province of Corrientes with Brazil. The announcement was made through Administrative Decision 1,223, published in the Official Gazette.
Although it was not effective until noon and no vehicle could enter the viaduct. The missionary portal El Territorio reported that the protocol was being adjusted to guarantee the safety of both passengers and workers there.
REQUIREMENTS
The current entry requirements for Argentines and residents are the electronic affidavit, the negative PCR test 72 hours before (for those over 6 years old), a complete vaccination schedule 14 days before entry (to be exempted from isolation).
Those who have not completed their vaccination may enter by performing mandatory isolation and taking a PCR test on the seventh day of entry into the country.
Non-resident foreigners must present a complete vaccination schedule 14 days before entering the country and it is an exclusive requirement. Likewise, the electronic affidavit, the negative PCR test at the previous 72 hours (for those over 6 years old), Covid-19 health insurance (coverage of hospitalization services, isolation and / or medical transfers).
Those who meet these requirements may enter the country and will be exempt from isolation.
To date, Corrientes has only two safe corridors authorized by the National Directorate of Migration. It is the Paso de los Libres-Uruguayana Border Center, with a 24-hour schedule, and now the Santo Tomé-São Borja land border crossing.
BACKGROUND
This measure comes a week after Brazil opened its border last Saturday the 11th, and many people were able to leave Argentina through the border crossing that connects Santo Tomé (Corrientes, Argentina) with São Borja (Rio Grande do Sul-Brazil) , but without it being possible to enter or re-enter through it, as reported in a previous edition of EL LIBERTADOR.
