Brazil rules out vaccine requirement for travelers

Brazil ruled out requiring a Covid-19 vaccination certificate for foreign travelers arriving in the country:

Brasília (AFP) – Brazil on Tuesday ruled out requiring a Covid-19 vaccination certificate for foreign travelers arriving in the country, despite a recommendation from the national health regulator.

The move came after far-right President Jair Bolsonaro compared such a mandate to a “leash” for animals.

Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga told reporters after a meeting at the presidency that “people cannot be discriminated between vaccinated and unvaccinated to impose restrictions.”
