In such circumstances, it is important to be aware of the measures in place at the Icelandic border when returning home. Passengers must show proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test before boarding a plane or ship to Iceland, and again upon arrival. The test must have been taken within 72 hours of departure (for the first leg of the journey).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covid.is\/undirflokkar\/ferdalog-til-og-a-islandi\">Further information can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Follow the advice of the Chief Medical Officer and the government.\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Passengers must undergo two tests for COVID-19 after arrival in the country, first at the border and then 5 days later, and must quarantine while awaiting the second test. Quarantine ends upon receiving a negative test result. From 1 April, all children born in 2005 or later are required to take a test at the border. Children travelling with parents or guardians, or anyone else required to quarantine, must quarantine with them and are released from it upon the accompanying person's negative result from the second test. However, children are not required to present a negative PCR test on arrival.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to follow government instructions to prevent the spread of infection in schools and in the community. The outbreak of infections in schools has a significant impact on school operations. As a result, many children and their families often have to self-isolate, which is a restrictive measure that disrupts daily life. The likelihood of such interventions can be reduced by following the advice of the Director of Public Health and the government, and by keeping up to date with any changes, which can be found at covid.is.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mikilv\u00e6g skilabo\u00f0 fr\u00e1 almannav\u00f6rnum\u00a0 N\u00fa l\u00ed\u00f0ur senn a\u00f0 p\u00e1skafr\u00edi og munu eflaust einhverjir leggja land undir f\u00f3t og heims\u00e6kja \u00e1stvini erlendis.
