The ease of travel restrictions, endorsed by the country's operational headquarters for Covid-19 prevention and control, takes effect on Friday, April 15.

However, all foreign travellers coming to Azerbaijan still need to be fully vaccinated, the authorities said on Thursday.

Travel restrictions were also eased for all domestic flights, with travellers no longer having to take pre-departure tests, Xinhua news agency reported.
