Do you need a COVID-19 certificate because you are planning to travel?

Here is a checklist of what to keep in mind.

What do you want to know more about?

    • There are no rules in place relating to quarantine or isolation.
    • You do not need to test for COVID-19 even if you are experiencing symptoms. 
    • You should stay home if you feel ill and experience respiratory symptoms.
    • You do not need to register a positive self-test.
    • You do not need to take a PCR test. If you need a test as documentation for your COVID-19 certificate, you will need to pay for the test yourself.
    • You should avoid contact with people in risk groups if you have respiratory symptoms.

  • Respiratory symptoms are first and foremost stuffy nose, cough and sore throat. You often also have a fever or a headache.

  • You do not need to test for COVID-19 even if you experience respiratory symptoms.

    If you need medical help, your GP can assess whether a COVID-19 test is necessary.

    If you need a COVID-19 test as documentation for your COVID-19 certificate, you will need to pay for the test yourself.

  • No, there are no longer any rules or recommendations to quarantine or isolate but if you feel ill and experience respiratory symptoms, you should stay home until you feel better. You can go about life as normal if you are not experiencing any symptoms. 

  • If you have respiratory symptoms, you should avoid close contact with people who could become seriously ill if they get infected.

    If you still choose to visit someone in a risk group, you should wear a face mask.

    See separate advice for risk groups from the NIPH.

  • Since there may be a new infection peak during the winter and the virus is constantly changing, certain groups are recommended to take a new booster dose.

    For most people, this will be their fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, but for some with a weaker immune system it may be the fifth dose. For children aged 12-17 with a serious underlying illness, this will be the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

  • You may be asked to show a COVID-19 certificate if you are travelling abroad. You can read more about the COVID-19 certificate here.
