At this point in the
coronavirus
pandemic
, it is clear to all of us that in order to move
within the country
, to another province -outside our usual cities of residence- it is necessary to consult
what is needed
to go to the place, such as circulation certificates, apps, sworn statements, health insurance, negative test or certificates.
So it was for those who took vacations in summer or escaped at Easter.
Although in general the conditions to circulate or
enter a province
are maintained with respect to what was proposed since December to this part, in recent weeks - and in the face of the sharp increase in cases and new restrictions - some incorporated the requirement to present a
certificate negative test
to enter their territories.

With an eye on internal travel, cabotage, -and also taking into account the destinations that already requested it and those that joined- here is a review of the provinces that require the
negative Covid certificate
to those who want to enter.
Some of the information is reflected in https://www.argentina.gob.ar/verano, but since not all provinces update the data, it is always advisable to check with the destination of the country to which you plan to travel.
Those of before and those of now
Buenos aires city.
Since December 2020, both for visitors who would like to walk around the City and for residents of Buenos Aires who returned from somewhere -more than 150 km and more than 4 days- the testing upon arrival has been mandatory.
In both cases, it is required to complete an affidavit and take the PCR test (which can be swabbing or saliva, whatever it takes).
Those who arrive by air must take a test upon arrival at Aeroparque (there are practically no domestic flights arriving in Ezeiza, in case of arriving in Ezeiza, they will have to be tested at one of the CABA testing centers or points).

Those who arrive by bus are tested at the Dellepiane terminal when getting off the bus.
And those who arrive in private vehicles must take the test within 72 hours at any of the enabled testing points.
In the latter case, you must request an appointment online in advance of the arrival date (turismo.buenosaires.gob.ar).
It is useless to present a test carried out in the province of origin since the requirement is to be tested when arriving in the City.
Missions.
The province maintained the need to enter with a test from the beginning and throughout the summer.

Those who arrive in Misiones both by air and by land must arrive with a negative coronavirus test carried out up to 48 hours in advance.
Another option is to carry out the study in the posts that the Ministry of Public Health has installed on the two access routes and in the airports.
The cost of these tests in the province is 2,000 pesos, but visitors who have
tourist services purchased
in advance will receive a refund of the money.
Another requirement is to have the Digital Missions application on the cell phone.

Since April 1, those who enter the Patagonian province must have a certificate of negative covid test (PCR or antigen).
In addition, you must process the certificate of circulation, complete an affidavit and have insurance or coverage for covid.
Chubut.
From April 17, the province began to request a "certificate of negative swab test - PCR to those who enter
from the City of Buenos Aires and the province of Buenos Aires
. This requirement is maintained, in principle, until the 3 of May.
The test must be done up to 72 hours before arrival, either by air or by land.
Minors under 10 years of age accompanied by an adult are excepted.

In addition, the Circular Certificate or Cuidar app must be completed at least 3 days before the date of entry.
And those who are not residents of the province must have "
current travel assistance insurance
coverage
or certificate of coverage issued by a prepaid medicine company or social work, with COVID-19 coverage."
Currents.
As reported in the Ministry of Tourism of the province, tourists or occasional travelers who arrive in Corrientes must present a negative covid study or carry out a test in the land accesses or the airport of the provincial capital.
People who arrive with contracted tourist services or reserved accommodation will not pay the cost of the test.
In addition, visitors must request the permits on the website https://permisos.corrientes.gob.ar/permisos and add the records of the reservations there.

Until April 30 in principle, residents of other provinces must present a negative PCR performed in the last 72 hours.
If you do not have the certificate, it can be done at the road station.
The same for those who arrive by plane, they must have a negative test or take one at the airport health checkpoint.
It is important to bear in mind that the entrance to the province is closed between 19 and 6 in the morning.
Formosa.
They ask for a negative Covid certificate and a 14-day quarantine.
Depending on the case
Santiago del Estero.
Here are several issues to consider.
To enter the province by air, negative PCR is required and is applicable to all passengers, whether residents or tourists, with or without a hotel reservation.
If you do not have it, the free PCR will be performed at the time of arrival.
Those who cross the province to another destination should not present a test.
Those who arrive in the province with a reservation of accommodation authorized by the province, do not need to present a test.
Without reservation, you must have a test done 72 hours before.
Tucuman.
The test carried out up to 72 hours in advance is
only requested
of those who enter the province
without a tourist reservation
or stay at a private address (the same for those who enter by land or air from other countries, although in this case it is added isolation for 10 days).
Beyond this, everyone must present the Circular Certificate (www.coe.tucuman.gov.ar, option "Tourism in Tucumán", or through the official website https://www.argentina.gob.ar/circular/turismo ).
Catamarca.
There are
municipalities
that ask and / or test visitors before entering.
Detailed information on each town is at www.turismo.catamarca.gob.ar/requisitos-de-ingreso-por-municipalidad/
Some examples: Andalgalá (costs $ 1,000 and is done when entering the city);
Antofagasta de la Sierra (it costs $ 1,300 if you do it when you enter);
o Fiambalá (negative PCR for tourists and residents 48 hours in advance; in case of not having it, it can be done at the entrance control).
