COVID-19: Sweden removes entry ban for vaccinated citizens of Armenia

STEPANAKERT, NOVEMBER 12, ARTSAKHPRESS: “The Govern­ment today adopted amend­ments to the tempo­rary ban on entry into Sweden. The amend­ments primarily mean that additio­nal people who can present a vaccine certificate issued in Armenia are exempted from the entry ban and test require­ment”, the statement says.

The amendments will enter into force on 15 November 2021.

The Govern­ment’s decision means that people travelling to Sweden who can present a vaccina­tion certifi­cate issued in Armenia are exempt from the entry ban and test require­ment. According to a European Com­mission decision, vaccina­tion certificates issued in Armenia are equiva­lent to the EU Digital COVID certifi­cate, which means that such certifi­cates can be checked and verified in the same manner and using the same techni­cal systems as the EU certificate.
