Dear Traveler, Holidays To These 5 Countries Don't Need To Use PCR Tests
JAKARTA - The case of COVID-19 in a number of countries has decreased, followed by many governments in the world implementing policies to coexist with COVID-19. This situation has an impact on opening the faucet for tourists entering to travel.
Even unmitigated, a number of countries have actually relaxed travel restrictions for tourists. This includes removing the RT-PCR test requirement for travelers who have been fully vaccinated.
This is the right moment for those of you who have resisted the intention of traveling abroad for a vacation. Continuing the Indian Express news via Antara, here are a number of countries that can be visited without the RT-PCR test requirement:
EgyptThe country itself has lowered the RT-PCR requirement since last year for those who are fully vaccinated. However, Egypt only approved the Covishield and AstraZeneca vaccines.
When in Egypt, visit the Pyramids of Giza (obviously!), the Karnak Temple of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Cairo, Sinai, Saqqara, among others. Go diving in the red seas and sailing the Nile to truly enjoy this country's rich heritage and natural gifts.
TurkeyTurkey does not require an RT-PCR test upon arrival from vaccinated travelers from around the world. Children under 12 years old do not need to be vaccinated, but guests will be asked to complete a health declaration form 72 hours prior to arrival.
Explore Turkish culture by enjoying delicious cuisine, amazing history and beautiful scenery. Hagia Sophia Mosque, Ephesus, Cappadocia, Topkapi Palace, Pamukkale, and Antalya are some of the many must-visit places in the country.
France The latest country to drop the RT-PCR requirement is France. France is now open to fully vaccinated travelers from around the world.
Apart from exploring and enjoying the charms of Paris, make sure you visit Provence, Versailles, Côte d'Azur, Reims, Brittany, the French Alps and the Alsace region.
SwitzerlandIf you are fully vaccinated, you can visit Switzerland or show evidence that you have recently recovered from COVID-19.
However, it should be noted that your second injection should not be more than 9 months old. If it is more, then you will be asked to get a booster injection.
In Switzerland, you can see landscapes like paintings, from stunning gorge views to quaint Swiss villages that exude charm. There are also snow-capped peaks of the Alps, to emerald lakes and glaciers.
NorwaySimilar rules apply to Norway. But if you visit the Svalbard archipelago, you will be asked to do an RT-PCR test.
Oslo, Troms, Lofoten, Nordland, Bergen, Geirangerfjord, Trondheim and Trøndelag are must-sees.

Pigeon Rocks in Raouche, Phoenician walls, old souks, Mohamman Al-amin mosque, Gulf of Zaitunay and Byblos Castle should be in your itinerary.
