For overseas arrivals, all that is needed is a vaccination certificate or Covid-19 testing result and no certificate of entry will be mandated.

In another separate issue, the current requirement of wearing a mask outdoors and in open spaces is expected to also be lifted at the beginning of July, subject to a Royal Gazette notification.
