COVID passport will be required for intercities and interdistrict passenger transportation by rail and road from today, APA reports.

According to the decision of the Task Force of Cabinet of Minister, except for regular passenger traffic between Baku and Sumgayit, Absheron district, passengers using rail and road transport (except for passenger transport by taxi) from cities and regions of the country are required to be immunized with the first dose of a COVID vaccine from October 1, 2021, and with the second dose from November 1, 2021, or to have an immunity certificate, with the exception of those under 18 years old.

Considering that long-term indoor gatherings create favorable conditions for the spread of coronavirus infection, it was decided to ensure regular passenger transport between cities and regions to reduce the risk of infection with COVID-19.

Note that so far there has been no such requirement.
