| Costa Rica’s COVID-19 Updates |
Costa Rica has maintained one of the lowest COVID-19 fatality rates in Latin America, and its government has been successful in managing the virus because of the quick actions it took in establishing:
- A specialized COVID-19 patient center
- A 14-day quarantine order for any individuals arriving in the country after March 5, when the first case of the virus was reported
- Driving regulations and other restrictions for any community with cases
- Measured actions according to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines
For a statement by the Costa Rica Tourism Board on COVID-19, please refer to the Visit Costa Rica website. |

| Reopening Plans |
| Costa Rica’s borders will reopen to international tourists on August 1st. This date is subject to change based on the progression of the virus around the world. Costa Rica’s tourism industry has utilized this time to establish new health and safety protocols, make repairs and implement employee training as well as offer discounts for future travel. The Ministry of Health, with the support of the Costa Rica Tourism Board, has designed a set of 16 protocols that will ensure the safety of both national and international tourists, once travel is possible. The protocols unite the efforts of the public and private sector. |
