Last Tuesday, the federal government published a new decree announcing changes to the entry of foreigners into the country. Ordinance 658 updates the previous text, from Ordinance 657 of October 2 (Saturday), and excludes stricter restrictions during the pandemic.
To enter the country, any traveler, whether Brazilian or foreign, from any place of origin must complete an entry form and submit a negative PCR test for Covid-19.
The measure renders null and void the CBF’s exceptional entry request for nine Brazilians who play in England – the last of whom is Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz – as well as Edison Cavani, the Uruguayan and Manchester United striker. The match between Brazil and Uruguay will be held next Thursday, the 14th in Manaus.

The measure is that there should be no problem for these athletes to arrive to contest the match. There is no quarantine requirement, which eventually led to the suspension of Brazil and Argentina, in September, in Sao Paulo.
