The Autonomous City of Buenos Aires will reopen national and international tourism, with mandatory and un quarantined tests. This was confirmed by the chief of staff, Felipe Miguel, and Fernando Starface, the secretary general. Tourists will be arriving by air (arriving at Ezeiza Airport), by long-distance bus (to Dellepiane terminal) and by private car or train. It will be from 8 December for those who arrive by land and December 15 for those who do so by air. In addition to tourists residing in Argentina, they will also be able to enter those from Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, which are so far the authorized countries. For entry, quarantine will not be required unless the test they take is positive.

In this sense, the obligation of a test will be implemented for each visitor, within 24 hours of their arrival in the district, in charge of medical coverage. The traveler entering CABA has the possibility to be tested and obtain the result within 12 hours. The value of these will be $2,500 for the international tourist and in the case of Argentines the cost will be borne by the medical coverage they have. The city’s chief of staff, Felipe Miguel, stressed the importance of the resumption of activity with economic impact. “Tourism is always a source of work for porteños and today the conditions are given for us to reopen our doors,” he said. He also addressed the inhabitants of the City: “The priority is and will continue to be to take care of the health of the neighbors. I want to give you peace of mind that we have a testing system for every tourist who comes to the City.”
