Tajik authorities permit foreigners to enter the country without a PCR-base test if they have a COVID-19 vaccination, Navrouz Jaffarov, the head of Directorate for Sanitary and Epidemiological Security, Emergency and Urgent Medical Care at the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population, told Asia-Plus in an interview.
“Foreign nationals may travel to Tajikistan without a PCR-base test if they have a COVID-19 vaccination certificate issued more than a month prior to arrival in the country. But if a foreigner was vaccinated 2 or 3 weeks prior to arrival in Tajikistan, he/she will have to pass the PCR-based,” Tajik health official noted.
Foreign nationals who were not vaccinated against COVID-19 are required to hold a certificate of a negative COVID-19 PCR-based test, made no earlier than 72 hours (3 days) prior to arrival in Tajikistan, Jaffarov said, noting that children under the age of 3 are exempt from presenting such a certificate.
Tajik health authorities claim that Tajikistan hasn't recorded any new infections since December 31.
