RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – As of Wednesday, April 7, Paraguay will adopt more stringent measures for those entering the country from Brazil.

Isolation, adopted because of the risk of circulation of the Brazilian strain of the coronavirus, which is much more contagious, can be done at home or in health units.

According to Guillermo Sequera, Health Surveillance director, besides presenting a negative PCR test, the person must be quarantined for a period of 7 days. Isolation can be done at home or in health units.

Sequera said he adopted the measure taking into account the risk of circulation of the Brazilian variant, which is much more contagious than the original strain.
