Colombia began the phase of international flights on September 21 and imposed the negative PCR COVID-19 test as a requirement for entering the country. But the doubts and ambiguities generated by the aforementioned resolutions have had an impact on the operation and on their application.
According to the union, while the regulation of the Ministry of Health clearly indicates that every traveler, whether Colombian or not, must comply with the requirement, Resolution 2232 issued by Migración Colombia, in the third paragraph of article 2, says that “In the case of Colombian citizens who arrive in the country without negative covid-19 test, it will be written in the passport that they must comply with ‘responsible isolation for 14 days’Likewise, a record will be made in the Platinum PCM application, field F-7 “.
