Thus, no quarantine will be established for persons arriving in Romania from these areas if:
- they have been vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including with the second dose, and there have passed at least 10 days since the date of the second dose and the date of their entry into Romania;
- they have been confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection in the last 90 days prior to their entry into the country, as evidenced by medical documents (example: positive RT-PCR test at the time of diagnosis, hospital discharge or prove of the presence of IgG antibodies performed with a maximum of 14 days prior to the entry into the country) and at least 14 days have passed since the date of confirmation to the date of their entry into the country;
- they remain on the national territory for a period of less than 3 days (72 hours) and present a negative test for SARS-CoV-2, performed 72 hours at the most before entering the national territory of Romania.
