Crew members working on freighters are now authorized to leave the vessels again and head to the shore at the Port of Santos. Now, all Brazilian nationals or foreigners who have gone through immigration control can disembark vessels. This also applies to seafarers who embarked on national territory. Disembarkation is permitted without proof of vaccination against Covid-19 or the performance of a screening test for the disease. However, this does not apply to seafarers who “meet the criteria for suspected, confirmed, or close contact cases.” Crew members, Brazilians, or foreigners of international origin, may enter the country with proof of a complete primary vaccination schedule against covid-19 or in case a negative test is presented to the person in charge of the vessel.
