Panama adds quarantine requirement for travelers from the US


Unvaccinated U.S. travelers entering Panama must quarantine upon arrival.  

The Central American country added the U.S. to its list of “high-risk countries” on Thursday, a designation that makes entry for the unvaccinated more difficult through a mandatory 72-hour quarantine for travelers who can’t show proof of vaccination.

Unvaccinated tourists must reserve and pay for the quarantine period at authorized hotels, which include properties operated by Westin, Wyndham and Holiday Inn. 

After 72 hours, travelers will be required to take a coronavirus test. If they test negative, they can leave the quarantine. If positive, they will need to complete a 14-day quarantine in a hotel hospital and will be responsible for the costs.

Unvaccinated travelers will also need to present a negative coronavirus test no more than 72 hours old to enter or pay $50 for a rapid test at the airport if a test is not possible in that time frame.
