13:20 | Lima, Feb. 2. The Ministry of Health (Minsa) streamlined the procedure to be followed by travelers who arrive in Peru and wish to shorten their mandatory quarantine period by proving that they are not infected with COVID-19, the sector reported on Tuesday.
However, this mandatory isolation period can be reduced to 6 days if the traveler proves not to be infected with coronavirus and receives an epidemiological discharge.
Before this mechanism was implemented, sending an e-mail to said ministry attaching the document issued by a molecular laboratory was necessary to confirm a negative result from the COVID-19 detection test, as well as awaiting a response from the State-run agency.
