During the Covid-19 pandemic, many countries restricted flights from Brazil for a while and the entry of Brazilians and passengers with a recent stay in the country to prevent the increase in the number of cases and deaths from this disease. Despite that, other nations already started the process of reopening borders and resuming international flights.

However, even with the pandemic, some people need to travel abroad for essential reasons - such as professional motives or family emergencies. The city of São Paulo and the Municipal Department of International Affairs reinforces the recommendations set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO) and specialists which include the continued practice of social isolation, discouraging international travel for tourism.
