The restrictions to take tests with RDT will be relaxed for air travellers to Myanmar if they show Covid-19 vaccination record cards as proof of being fully vaccinated or if the travellers who are not fully vaccinated show the RT-PCR test results within 48 hours before their arrival in Myanmar, the Ministry of Information reported on the night of November 29.

The government imposes rules and disciplines for Covid-19 and eases them depending on the infection rate of the country as well as of the world countries and regional countries.

Meanwhile, the local infection rate has declined and the positivity rate reaches under 1% for 14 consecutive days, the positive rate from travellers to Myanmar via international flights is also less than 1% and the Covid-19 vaccine coverage is high across the nation. Therefore, the restrictions to take tests with RDT will be relaxed for travellers to Myanmar by international commercial flights if they show Covid-19 vaccination record cards as proof of being fully vaccinated or if the travellers who are not fully vaccinated show the RT-PCR test results within 48 hours before their arrival in Myanmar at (00:01) hour Myanmar Standard Time on December 1, 2022. The details will be published in "The Public Health Requirements for Travellers who Wish to Enter Myanmar through International Commercial Flights" on December 1.

 However, the public health requirements for travellers by relief flights and travellers via land borders will remain the same as the requirements were released on October 8, 2022.
