Passengers are required to have tested negative for Covid-19 within 72 hours before their departure, have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or show a certificate of full vaccination or recovery from Covid-19 within six months from the departing date. They also have to complete electronic health declarations before checking in for all flights.
