There have not been many upsides to having had COVID-19 — until now. Starting December 10, visitors to Iceland will be exempt from the country’s mandatory quarantine and testing requirements if they can show proof of prior COVID-19 infection.
Right now, travelers from risk areas (which currently covers every country in the world) must quarantine for 14 days upon arrival, and take two COVID-19 tests five quarantine days apart. Only when the second test comes back negative are travelers allowed to move around the country freely.
