Iceland Opening

May 26, 2020

Iceland, with its wide-open spaces, is ready to welcome travelers again beginning June 15. But they do want to know you are healthy. Travelers from the United States will have a choice on arrival at Keflavík International Airport. The first option is to provide personnel a clean bill of health obtained by U.S. health authorities. The second option is to get a coronavirus test (free for all during the first two weeks of Iceland’s re-opening). The last option is to go into immediate 2-week quarantine. All visitors to Iceland will also be required to install a tracing app to their mobile device, one of the most vital tools in reducing transmission in Iceland during this crisis. The head of Visit Iceland explains that they “expect that visitors will be able to move quite freely and without extensive restrictions when traveling responsibly around the country. Obviously, we still have certain restrictions in place to ensure safety where you may expect larger crowds and in certain service areas.” Flight schedules are still pending.  Other countries with organized and planned openings for tourists in June include Mexico, St. Lucia and Greece.
