After six days, a PCR test will be taken, and if the result is negative, their quarantine will be shortened. It must be noted that the test will be taken at the traveller’s expense. Upon arrival, all travellers will be subject to COVID-19 testing and those who display coronavirus symptoms will be dispatched to the airport’s medical facility for further testing.
