Chile has announced that it is reopening 22 land border crossings that had been closed since March 17, 2020 with Argentina, Bolivia and Peru due to the coronavirus epidemic.
Only goods could pass through these crossing points, which were closed to human traffic.
“Today, Sunday, May 1, border traffic will be normalized,” said the Chilean Interior Ministry’s Twitter account.
The epidemic has stabilized in Chile, although health measures continue to apply, especially to non-residents.
Three levels of alert are in place and today, the border must operate in accordance with level 1 which means that there are no restrictions on travel within or outside the country.
Only the molecular PCR test before the trip is recommended, but upon arrival in Chile, travelers can be randomly checked. A health form must be completed and non-resident foreigners must also have health insurance in case they need treatment for Covid-19.
If the alarm returns to the maximum level 3, this means resetting the restrictions.
In November, Santiago Airport reopened, followed by terminals in Antofagasta and Iquique (north) and Punta Arenas (south), followed by five border crossings with Argentina on December 22.
Chile, a country of more than 19 million people, has recorded 3.5 million cases of coronavirus and 57,539 deaths as of March 8, 2020.
