Travellers must be active and contact the authorities of the country of destination, shipping company or airline concerned to find out which certificates are required. All travellers are required to present certificates laid down in the Communicable Diseases Act and to comply with the decisions made by the Regional State Administrative Agencies on compulsory health examinations.
