New rules to enter Switzerland and Greece, vaccines are not enough

The Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs announces that Switzerland has imposed new measures regarding entry into the country.

From 4 December, all persons entering Switzerland, including those who have been vaccinated or cured of Covid-19, must be tested in advance. 

In addition to pre-arrival testing, a second test, either PCR or antigenic, must be performed between the fourth and seventh day after arrival in Switzerland.

Greece, too, has temporarily banned the entry of all third-country nationals, from any point of entry into the country and in any way or means, but this ban does not apply to residents of Albania.

All travelers to Greece, regardless of nationality and way of entering Greek territory, must complete the electronic PLF form, have completed at least 14 days of vaccination for COVID-19 and present a vaccination certificate, be negatively diagnosed or in a PCR laboratory test for COVID-19, with relevant certificates and if they test negative in rapid test at customs points.
