NUR-SULTAN -- Kazakhstan plans to lift all coronavirus restrictions at checkpoints along its borders with Russia, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan as of April 11.
The decision was made by the coronavirus task force on April 6 based on the fact "the epidemiologic situation in the country has stabilized."
Restrictions also will be lifted at Kazakhstan's airports for individuals arriving in the country by plane.
However, travelers will still need to provide either a negative PCR test result or proof of being vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Kyrgyzstan has been urging Kazakhstan to open border checkpoints for some time now, as Kyrgyz citizens have been able to travel to Kazakhstan only by air since spring 2020.
Russia lifted coronavirus restrictions at its checkpoints along the Kazakh borders on March 30, exactly two years after they were shut down due to coronavirus.
