There are many doubts that arise with the constant change of averages imposed by the Ministry of Health. This new measure is due to the increase in Covid-19 infections.

The passenger has two options: 1. Take the test in Colombia and carry a preventive isolation until the negative result of the test is obtained. 2. Carry out a preventive isolation of 14 days or during the term indicated by the health authority, in which case you choose not to do the test in Colombia.
