Quick question regarding the new PCR test requirement

Post new topic

enc3

Hi all!

I'm currently in Colombia and have been saving up to get back to Brasil and am ready to book my ticket. Regarding the new requirement for tourists having a negative COVID test that starts on the 30th, if I were to book a ticket that has me leaving Colombia and boarding the flight TO Brasil on the 29th, but is scheduled to land in Rio just after midnight on the 30th, will I be required to have the test for boarding the plane on the 29th?  Or is it only required for actually boarding your flight starting on the 30th?

Flights on the 29th are notably cheaper on Expedia than flights leaving between the 26th and 28th, so I was curious.

Oh yeah also, is Reveillon and the big fireworks shows cancelled in ALL cities or only Rio?

Obrigado e com sorte volto em breve!
