Self-isolation rules and testing upon entry to Belarus
Self-isolation applies to all persons arriving in Belarus from countries included in the list of countries where COVID-19 infections are registered, posted on the official website of the Ministry of Health.
It is worth reminding that until the end of the self-isolation period, they are not subject to further passage through the border of the Republic of Belarus.
Also, all foreigners over the age of six, except those with permanent or temporary residence permit in the territory of the Republic of Belarus, arriving in the Republic of Belarus, must have an original or copy of a medical document on paper or in electronic form confirming the negative result of laboratory testing for COVID-19 infection.
The laboratory test must be performed no later than three days before the date of border crossing (including the date of crossing) by PCR method.
The medical document must indicate the surname, first name, patronymic (if any) of the citizen, the date of the laboratory test and the result for COVID-19 infection (in Belarusian, Russian, or English).
The absence of a medical document is grounds for refusing entry to foreigners in the Republic of Belarus.
Can Russian citizens enter Belarus by car if they are traveling in transit?
Yes, Russian citizens will be able to enter the territory of Belarus by car to return home. They do not need a test to enter Belarus, and they do not have to be in self-isolation for 10 days.
We posted information about crossing the Russian border on our website earlier. Read here.
