Upon hearing some concerns that the Attorney General’s Office had raised, and in which he had asked him to modulate the sentence in which he ordered that travelers arriving in Colombia be required to test negative for coronavirus, the 11th administrative court of orality of the Bogotá circuit made some adjustments to its decision.
In his ruling, the judge reiterated his order to require travelers to arrive in Colombia a PCR test with a negative result for coronavirus, prior to shipment. Thus, the judge said, this test should be required as an entry requirement by the immigration authorities for travelers who enter by air.
Thus the things, the judge confirmed his decision to annul a resolution of the Ministry of Health in which it eliminated the requirement of this test, Therefore, another resolution remains in force, 1627 of 2020, with which that portfolio had said that the test was necessary.
However, the judge made an addition to his ruling, noting that for travelers who do not have a coronavirus test, they should be required to isolate themselves preventively and then take the test. In addition, they must follow the indicated measures until it is determined that they do not have the virus through a test and with “the evaluation of epidemiological risk.”

stipulated, for entering the country, “he said.
