Unvaccinated travelers, including Romanian citizens, arriving from the United States without negative pre-travel COVID-19 RT-PCR test results are required to quarantine at home for 14 days and declare their address of residence in Romania. Travelers can reduce their quarantine period to 10 days by showing valid negative pre-travel COVID-19 RT-PCR results from a test taken a maximum of 48 hours before arrival.

-Travelers under the age of 12;

We recommend you bring an approved self-test to administer, and possibly a backup in case you get a false positive.

Please order or purchase as soon as possible as we expect the new demand will reduce supply.
