In light of the recent increase in Covid cases, several countries have placed restrictions upon travellers from Luxembourg, with a 14 day quarantine or a negative test result required.
The Luxembourg government has set up a system to facilitate these requirements, allowing people who have to travel to one of these countries to register for a free test.
From 17 July, Luxembourg residents can make a request on www.covid19.lu (travel abroad), completing a form and providing proof of the need for the trip (for example: booking tickets or hotel, business travel certificate by the employer, and so on).
Each request will be analysed prior to acceptance. Once accepted, a unique code will be sent by email to the requester. The traveller can thus use this code to make an appointment in one of the 17 testing centres around the country.
This service is only intended for people who are required to present a negative test result in order to travel abroad. The regulations in force must be checked on the websites of the embassies of the countries concerned, or on the website of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.
The system is designed to not only help those travelling for leisure, but also those needing to visit countries such as Germany on an ad hoc or temporary basis, for professional reasons.
