Colombia / Travel Coronavirus Updates

[SJobs]

General Aviation is a term used for private chartered flights like executive jets etc. Business travel could be anyone travelling specifically to do business in Colombia, not sure if our type of business would count although we are helping the Colombian economy in our own way!

Thanks for the information. I wish one day I can chatter my own private jet. For now, I hope I can somehow justify a business need and get back to Medellin in September.

It says " general aviation and business" travel will be allowed in September. This is very ambiguous, what is general and business?

This article states that Colombia is hoping to open back up to international flights in November but that they will also be doing so with an eye on how the pandemic is affecting other countries: I translate this to mean that they will be accepting flights (and possible citizens) from countries where the pandemic is not highly active.

"The normalization of flights for "tourism and visitors" would not be taking place until November, according to the Aerocivil schedule.

"The Aerocivil schedule stressing that reopening flights depends on the development of the pandemic indicates that the reopening could also be defined by country or region depending on the prevalence of COVID-19. ".

The wording of that sounds quite similar to what Costa Rica is doing, which is allowing visitors and / or flights, from countries where Covid-19 is considered under control. Which, as of August 1, is most of Europe, Great Britain, and Canada. Perhaps Colombia may do it this way in November.

To whom it may concern.

Master Monger reposted his post that was not about travel to Colombia but was only about Coronavirus in the "travel plans".

Keep the posts on here related directly to Travel to Colombia as is related to mongers being allowed back in the country please. If you set up a table to play cards and come and start throwing my checkers all over your table that would make no sense. And it would be disrespectful. Than when you complain if I go to your mailbox and shit in it, that would also be uncalled for and disrespectful but yet here we are. People throwing their checkers on my card table and when I explain that this is a card table and not a checkers table they go shit in my mailbox.

Good call out Mojo. Some of us care about logistics to travel back to Columbia, and I was getting sick of all the people diving down science and political coronavirus conversations; I simply want to know logistics / practical information with respect to when the country will be back open, under what circumstance. Etc. Frankly, I'm here for info be / see I want to be balls deep in Colombian pussy.

My blog is for any updates regarding mongers being able to travel to Colombia again, it is not for people to post various rants, opining and explaining about Coronavirus. This has hijacked my blog before and then no one can see messages about travel. There are other places you can post those things, or one could start a blog dedicated to just that but not here. It is not the purpose of my blog, only that which has some relation to travel to Colombia related to restrictions being lifted etc will not be deleted! And let us all pray together that this is sooner rather than later.

When would you lot guess we can visit Colombia again?

There's one thing all the guesses so far have had in common, they've all been wrong.

"Para diciembre, 41.622 personas habrand muerto por COVID-19 en Colombia: proyecciand del gobierno".

That 41 K deaths by year end is a worse case scenario estimate. It's also true that confirmed cases and death rates are steadily on the rise.

I hate to use Trump's terminology but I have to call Fake News on this one. Report claims "local media"reported on this but I can find no evidence.

https://www.worldometers.info/corona...ntry/colombia/

Scroll down and check the graphs. Daily new cases and daily deaths have been steadily spiking in Colombia. You aren't getting in Colombia for a long time, and very likely this will be well beyond Sept 1. They do not depend on US tourism, and will not be letting people in from countries like that US that have high rates of transmissions. Usually it's "about the money" but this virus business is a whole different kettle of fish. And guys were expecting to get into Costa Rica July 1, but that isn't happening either, not even close.

Find fun in your own towns and neighborhoods, or if you are in the Southwest USA consider the Mexican border towns. Dreaming about Colombia is a pipedream for the foreseeable future.

Better article from June 15: https://www.semana.com/nacion/articu...rgencia/679785.

As best I can understand Duque's office sent a 100 page petition to the Constitutional Court presenting a worst case projection through December. Duque is seeking authority to extend the "emergency" so as to extend his ability to govern by decree. (like Trump's executive orders). This number of deaths is based on the dubious assertion that there will be 3. 6 million cases by the end of the year. There are currently 55 thousand.

I haven't been able to locate a copy of the 100 page petition.

I can't find this reported anywhere else either.
