ANDORRA COVID-19

UPDATED 23.02.2022

Epidemiological situation

The total number of cases detected in Andorra since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic is 37,958, and a total of 37,096 people have recovered from the illness.

The number of active cases has dropped considerably to 711 and the pressure on hospitals has stabilised, with there continuing to be 5 people in the COVID-19 ward at Nostra Senyora de Meritxell Hospital and 5 in the intensive care unit. Since the start of the pandemic, 151 people have died.

Over the last week, the percentage of positive diagnostic tests (TMA/PCR/RAT) performed was 4.8 %, while the number of confirmed cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last fortnight was 1,098. The R rate stands at 1.06.

In view of the reduction in pressure on the health system, and given that a high percentage of the population has been vaccinated, it is no longer necessary to wear masks outdoors and there are no restrictions on venue capacity in Andorra.

COVID-19 Certificate

In Andorra, a COVID-19 certificate is required in order to enter bars, restaurants, cafés, hotels, tourist accommodation, cases pairals (activity centres for senior citizens), spas, cultural and sporting venues (including museums, libraries, cinemas and gyms), hairdressers’, barbers’, beauty salons, amusement arcades and social care and day centres. You will also need to present the certificate in order to attend outdoor events with more than 1,000 people.

A COVID-19 passport must also be presented in all of Andorra’s skiing areas: this applies to all those taking part in a sporting activity (including downhill skiing, snowshoeing and other activities) as well as those wishing to enter ski lifts, restaurants and enclosed spaces.

Under-16s are exempt from the requirement to present a COVID-19 certificate to enter venues; however, they must follow all of the preventive measures, such wearing a face mask indoors.

Travel between Spain and France

In the case of Spain, travel across the Spain-Andorra border is allowed for both entering and leaving the country and visitors do not need to present a certificate. Transit is free.

A COVID-19 certificate does not have to be presented in order to enter Andorra from France. To travel to France across the Baladrà border, however, everyone aged 12 and over must present a health passport proving that they are fully vaccinated, or a COVID-19 recovery certificate. If an individual does not have either of these documents, they must present proof of a negative test result (with the test having been taken within the 24 hours prior to their arrival). An antigen test can also be taken on arrival.

These requirements do not apply to road travel by transportation professionals, journeys of under 24 hours to Ariège and Pyrénées-Orientales, nor to trips undertaken for professional reasons when the urgency or duration of such a trip is incompatible with taking a diagnostic or screening test.

Before travelling, we recommend that you check measures for both the country of origin and destination.

Vaccination programme

In Andorra, 85% of over-16s have received one dose, 83% have both doses and 60% of those over 18 years of age have already received their booster dose.
