It is the first time such a requirement has been imposed on those crossing the land border between the two countries; until now, it has only been required of arrivals by air. “They must have a PCR test (RT-PCR), a TMA test or another type of diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 based on equivalent molecular techniques, with a negative result, carried out in the 72 hours prior to arrival,” the bulletin said.

The ban has caused a particular upset over Holy Week, when people routinely travel to see family.
