Following on our news item dated 3 June, tonight, the Emergency Operations Committee requested the Ministries of Public Health, of Foreign Affairs and of Migration to standardize entry requirements for both Galapagos and mainland Ecuador. As of 1 July, proof of full vaccination completed at leas 14 days prior to arrival will be acceptable for entry into Galapagos. While a negative PCR test will also be acceptable, the timeframe has been shortened from 96 to 72 hours. This will make it nearly impossible to time a PCR test back home and make it into Galapagos within that time frame. The requirement for a “salvoconducto” (safe passage) will also be dropped on 1 July.
