Measures canceled:

• When entering Latvia, self-isolation requirement will be abolished. Imported Covid-19 cases do not create an additional burden to the public safety, says the Ministry of Health.
• The covidpass.lv is no longer effective, therefore, the platform will be suspended as of March 1.
• The countries will no longer be divided into risk groups, the goal is to reduce uncertainties for passengers and to avoid the complicated entry rules.
• A ban on entry from particularly high-risk countries (if any, as determined by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, as well as the Latvian Disease Prevention and Control Center) which may pose a significant risk to public health is maintained. Currently, no such countries are identified.
