The Netherlands has also removed the mandatory quarantine for vaccinated Argentines: what do they ask to enter and on which flights can they be reached?

The Netherlands announced that it had reclassified the 16 countries that were on their list of “countries at high health risk with circulating variants of concern”, a list in which Argentina appeared.
