The self-isolation threshold in Latvia is currently set at 50 Covid-19 cases per 100,000 population. Among the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries, this rate is lower only in the Vatican, where no cases have been detected for two weeks, and also in Iceland, where the cumulative rate is 44.5. It is also below 50 in the UK, where it stands at 46.3.
Self-isolation in Latvia must be observed when returning from Estonia, Monaco, Andorra, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Slovakia, France, Sweden, Malta, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Germany, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Hungary, Denmark, Finland, Portugal, Ireland, San Marino and Norway.
For countries outside the EU and the EEA, self-isolation is not required when traveling from Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. These countries are among those allowed to cross the EU’s external border.
When entering Latvia from other countries of the world not mentioned in the lists, self-isolation must be observed.
SPKC still does not recommend going abroad, because visiting other countries is considered to be a high-risk factor – in some countries not only an increase in the incidence is observed, but also other types of the virus that are not yet registered in Latvia.
On the other hand, if it is necessary to go abroad, then when returning for ten days, strict self-isolation measures must be observed and health must be monitored. If symptoms occur, a Covid-19 test should be performed and your GP should be consulted to decide what to do next.
