Good night you can also
It must be PCR.
I have a flight to Ecuador from Florida ( USA) I have my negative test , My question is if I have my negative test the same I have to stay in a hotel do the quarantine for 14 days , or quarantine is for people who do not have the result of the Covic test…?
My other question is whether I choose the hotel where I stayed true ?
I want to know in the course of those 14 I can't go out at all days ?
With a negative PCR test you can go home.
In August I will travel to Ecuador from Mexico, I will go alone for 2 weeks. What do I need to enter the country?
Negative PCR test if you do not want to make isolation by 14 days in a hotel.
Dear Nicolás, this month of August I will travel to the USA, I need to have my test to be able to enter the northern country of NYC exactly.
I understand that it is not a requirement to enter the USA..
If I take the PCR test and it is negative for covid. I also have to quarantine in Ecuador?
That's what the protocol says..
It is not easy in a strange country without money and elderly people to meet the requirements demanded in our Ecuador for entry with such a global problem that took five months in the US and when there is hope of returning I don't know how to get 120 us for an exam that I should take in my homeland
When I take the test at the interlab laboratory in Ecuador and send my negative PCR result, the ministry contacts the laboratory or asks for my order number to verify the result.??? Or just the pdf they send me is enough
Good afternoon, can you clarify a question for me?, the person who arrives in Ecuador with a negative COVID test, He goes for seven days to where he is designated, and AGAIN you have to get tested for COViD to continue isolation at home. But why ? If you present a negative written test when entering the country.
My question is that elderly passengers are exempt from quarantine in Ecuador. ?? Of course, if I have to take the COVID-19 test and if I test positive, by law I would quarantine.… Please answer me !!
It is understood that it is so.
A requirement still impossible to respect in Canada, where cannot be proven like this without particular reason.
As far as I have seen any PCR result is in 72 hours, sometimes it takes to more than 10 days
Always countries, They do the rules without looking at the reality of other countries, As if there were the same service on the same side, policy.
It seems to me that it is very important to take the correct forecasts,But the extremes are bad, You have to think about the condition that we have been caught fighting to survive and suddenly they demand the impossible, Be aware with those who are in difficult situations.
Not that easy, Go and do me
Good night co. Due respect In the United States of Americans they only call by phone to give the PCR results if you know of somewhere in Florence Alabama please let me know
But in the United States they don't test you unless you have symptoms. I have to take the test on my own.? Or you are going to do them? Because THEY ARE NOT DOING IT if there are no symptoms.
Each passenger must do it on their own..
Crazy measure considering the already violated economic conditions of citizens abroad. On the other hand, it means that passengers will have to know the flight itinerary well in advance and also in a foreign country in a state of quarantine, look for a laboratory..
And where the test is done ?
You would have to look for in the country where you are.
I have the result of the positive antibody test. Which indicates that I had the covid 19 But now I developed antibodies. Here in NY they are sent by email. My question is that if that serves to enter Ecuador. It should serve because it is a higher test than the PCR that in Ecuador will implement it but it is my question with the type of decisions they take. I would thank you for clearing my doubt.
