Another Negative Indication

This article says on April 7, PCR tests will be required for International AND Domestic flights.
Anyone else want to hop on the Mexico train? I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, but I'll be tracking everything closely, as I have not yet purchased a return flight from Mexico. My buddy just took a long weekend in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and had a blast. He was super bummed to return to a curfew. Depending on your style of mongering, the curfew can be a speed bump or a road block. If you don't know which it is, for you, then I'd say change your travel plans. For those of you in Medellin, maybe it's a good time to consider a trip, if you aren't locked into a long-term lease, etc.
Domestic Flights testing requirement??
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2546797]The bullshit that this is. So that means the flights are about to be empty. Last night I bought my ex girlfriend a ticket to come see me in Bogota from Cali, round trip $38 for layer this month. The PCR test costs more right? And she would have to take a test to go back home too? Not to mention I was planning on going to Barranquilla and Medelland as well. How are they coming up with this stuff.[/QUOTE]I do not think this is the case, my Spanish is not perfect but I see nowhere in that article where it explicitly states that there will be a testing requirement for domestic flights, all I see is that there was two different Administrative Acts that were combined into one, but each "Act" contained differing "recommendations" for domestic (feeding people in a way that persons sitting next to each other do not have to remove masks at same time. Disinfecting blankets etc) and for international (continuing required Covid-19 testing due to various new unpredictable strains in other countries like Brazil, United Kingdom, and South Africa). Sounds to me like they had two lists of shit and before issuing it as an "act" they just combined the lists into one lists.
Here is what the article states:
"Due to the pandemic, we had had several administrative acts on domestic flights that were updated and also two on international flights. We are now merging into one, with specific recommendations.
That take effect on April 7, 2021.
It never even states anything about Covid testing and domestic flights in the same sentence. I can't be positive because my Spanish skills are not perfect but if you read the other articles they do not say anything specifically about requiring testing for domestic flights, being that this would be a big deal I would think it would be stated explicitly. I also took a look at Avianca and LATAM websites, they make no mention of this.
Here are other articles discussing the same announcement and they do not mention anything about testing for domestic flights.
