Passengers from South America must pay a PCR of US $ 85 at the airport; quarantine shortened from 5 to 3 days
Since May 3, some changes in the entry measures for passengers arriving from any country in South America came into effect in Panama.
The changes: mandatory PCR at the airport-until Monday it was antigen or PCR-and quarantine of three days and no longer five.
All travelers arriving in Panama from South America, South Africa or the United Kingdom or who have transited through any of these countries in the last 15 days must present a negative PCR performed at most 48 hours before arrival and must be compulsorily an additional molecular Covid-19 test upon arrival at Tocumen International Airport, which will be borne by the traveler, prior to its passage through migration (value US$ 85).
If the result is positive, the passenger must comply with a mandatory quarantine of 14 days in a Hospital Hotel designated by the Ministry of Health at no cost or at their home, only if they are Panamanian or resident.
If the result is negative, the passenger must comply with a mandatory quarantine of 3 days in a hotel designated by the Ministry of Health at no cost or in an authorized hotel of their choice with a confirmed reservation prior to arrival that must be presented printed upon arrival in Panama.

There are only three authorized hotels in this case: Westin Panama, Westin Playa Bonita and Hotel Bristol.
At the end of the 3 days, another test will be performed. If the result is negative, the quarantine ends.
If the result is positive, the traveler must remain in quarantine for 14 days in a Hospital Hotel designated by the Ministry of Health at no cost
