Certificate for travel abroad
Many countries require a certificate of a negative Covid sample upon arrival in the country. As of July 16, 2021, such tests will not be available in Vestfjörður. These tests are available in Reykjavík, but we particularly recommend the rapid tests of the Security Center in Keflavík, which are cheaper and only take 15 minutes. See the website of the Security Center (oryggi.is) and travel.covid.is.
