According to a decision taken on April 22, 2022 by the Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan the special quarantine regime will remain in force until July 1, 2022.
Although the situation in Azerbaijan has improved and is, according to the national authorities, good it was decided that some restrictions would continue to apply.
Thus, as of May 1, 2022, face masks are no longer required. Most public transport, including the Baku Metro, reopened on May 31 for weekdays, and resumed weekend operations from October 1, 2021.
Since June 10, 2021, beaches, sports and health centers, places of worship, shopping malls, and shopping centers have reopened, subject to COVID-related restrictions.
Since September 2, 2021 it is also possible for foreigners to use their Covid-19 passport (or a document confirming full COVID-19 vaccination or immunity to COVID-19) issued abroad to enter restaurants, hotels, large shopping malls, and other places requiring a Covid-19 passport.
In addition, as of March 6, 2022, there are no longer limits on the hours and number of people present in restaurants, cultural facilities such as movie theaters, children’s entertainment facilities, places of religious worship, and areas of the airport intended to accommodate passengers. However, proof of vaccination for entry is still required for persons 18 years of age and older in enclosed areas (shopping malls, restaurants, etc.).
