The test must be taken within 72 hours prior to departure.

Additionally, all passengers arriving in Iceland must undergo two more PCR tests: one upon arrival, and another one 5-6 days later.

Those who test negative in the second PCR test are no longer submitted to special precautions. Those who test positive must self-isolate.

Children born in 2005 and later are exempted.
