For example, in some countries it is enough to have this digital certificate, in others it is not enough you have to have a quick test or a PCR test, there are countries that require both PCR test and quick test, so in each of them we have to check very careful what we are asked, especially since in some countries children are exempt, but the age from which children are exempt from these tests differs. Also, when returning to the country, the yellow lists and the red lists are constantly changing.
Travelers who have a digital certificate and land in Otopeni have special dedicated colors and do not have to wait for specific formalities. (RADIO ROMANIA NEWS)
