Laos to drop Covid entry rules for vaccinated tourists from May 9 – The National

Laos will drop Covid-19 entry restrictions for fully vaccinated tourists from Monday after the country reported falling coronavirus cases and deaths, senior officials said.

The small South-east Asian nation saw an 80 per cent downturn in international traveller numbers in 2020 ― 4.7 million foreign tourists visited the previous year.

From January, travellers were required to complete seven days of quarantine, present a negative Covid-19 test and were limited to travelling within certain areas with officially sanctioned tour groups.
