Currently, you can’t go on vacation without a PCR test for coronavirus. If the test is positive, the holiday, unfortunately, will not happen. “DIP” will tell you what to do if you have COVID-19.
A positive test for COVID-19 has arrived
If you have a positive PCR test for coronavirus, it means that you have “picked up” the virus. In some cases, the disease is asymptomatic, so do not be surprised by the lack of cough and more.
In this case, you need to take a test to the doctor and get a certificate diagnosed with COVID-19. Then notify the airline or tour operator of the news and make a refund.
Most airlines refund the full amount (or with a small percentage) for tickets if a person has contracted the coronavirus and confirmed it.
Postponement of the permit
It is more profitable for airlines to keep you as a buyer, so they can offer you to postpone the flight to a date convenient to you. So you can postpone your vacation to a good time. The main thing is to clarify whether you have to pay extra money.

For example, some travel agencies do not refund vouchers. Large companies such as Anex Tour, Pegas Touristik, Tez Tour take away most of the cost for the cancellation of the tour, so tourists are offered to postpone the trip to other dates.
If the company does not offer any options to resolve the issue with a refund or transfer of the permit, you can go to court. Documents and medical certificates must be attached to the lawsuit.
Arrived in another country, and the test is positive
Most countries require a repeat PCR test. If it turns out to be positive, you send it to isolation. Either you will stay in your hotel room or you will be accommodated in a special hotel. There you will be treated in complete isolation from other people (only a doctor will come).
Most likely, you will have to spend all your vacation in quarantine. You can return home only if the test is negative.
Ill during the holidays
If you feel unwell during the holidays, take a PCR test. If it is positive, ask the hotel to call a doctor. You need to stay in a hotel room at this time.
It is best to take out insurance that covers coronavirus treatment before leaving the country. Otherwise you will have to pay for hospital stay, treatment, food and living abroad until recovery. If you have insurance, you will be paid for treatment and return flight if you miss the flight.
