Travelers will, however, have to spend three days in institutional quarantine upon their arrival.
There’s been a slew of updates this past week, a major update was one that allowed direct entry for travelers coming from Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Egypt, Brazil and Vietnam. It was stipulated that they did, however, have to go through mandatory institutional quarantine of 5 days upon arrival.
