Current rules on quarantine upon arrival in Poland.

New regulation on quarantine upon arrival in Poland

Negative test of Covid-19 made on the airport.How to avoid quarantine after arrival in Poland? According to the new regulation which entered into force on March 30, 2021, all people arriving in Poland by plane are sent to quarantine. In the case of people arriving from the non-Schengen Area, a negative test result for Covid-19 carried out in Poland will exempt the quarantine. 

Travellers arriving in Poland from the Schengen area are exempted from quarantine if they have tested negative for Covid-19. The test must be done within 48 hours before crossing the border and shown at the request of the border guard. The results of the test must be either in Polish or English. 

If travellers do not have a negative test result with them before entering the public area, the border guard, on the basis of the personal data of such persons, will impose on them the obligation to quarantine. 

Tests for Covid-19 after crossing the border

The negative result of the test carried out after crossing the border within 48h also exempts travellers from the quarantine, provided that the laboratory will enter this result into the information system of the State Sanitary Inspectorate. 

Tests for covid-19 can also be carried out at polish airports, but not all provide this option immediately after landing, but only after leaving the terminal.
