Brazil, a country that has been open with virtually no restrictions since July 29th, will now demand a negative PCR test from all arrivals starting on December 30, 2020.

The PCR test isn’t just for tourists either.

Any foreigner/tourist who does not present proof of the negative test before the flight may not be permitted to board. Read more about it here.
