Following the upsurge of the COVID-19 virus in recent weeks, some countries are obliging people from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to present a negative COVID-19 test upon entry.

On 19 July 2020, in response to the upsurge in the number of people infected with the coronavirus that our country is facing, the Government Council adopted the draft law amending the law of 17 July 2020 introducing a series of measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since the beginning of the sanitary crisis and, later on, as part as the deconfinement strategy, Luxembourg has adopted an ambitious testing strategy, composed of PCR diagnostic testing for those showing symptoms as well as large-scale testing aimed at identifying asymptomatic persons.

From Monday 8 June 2020, the Advanced care centres (Centres de soins avancés, CSA) at LuxExpo and the Rockhal will close their doors permantely.

The overall objective is to avoid a second wave of infected people in the context of exit measures and thus the introduction of a new lockdown.
