== Countries ==[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] hitchhiked in [[Uruguay]] during the peak of the pandemic and found it very easy. Short waiting times, 1 out of 3 drivers were wearing masks, nobody asked but out of politeness he wore masks inside the vehicles. Hitchhiked without mask outside but put it on as soon as a vehicle stopped. Absolutely no problem.
=== [[EuropeUser:4Lus|4Lus]] ===hitchhiked through the western balkans ([[Kosovo]], [[North Macedonia]], [[Albania]], [[Montenegro]], [[Croatia]] and [[Bosnia and Hercegovina]] in August and September 2021. For the most part, there are no notable limitations. Drivers don't care for the most part, the pandemic often was a topic of conversation, a lot of people are very sceptical about the vaccination so it is likely that your drivers will be unvaccinated. When crossing borders, you will be asked to provide either a negative test or a certificate of vaccination.

Added personal experience [4Lus]
[[User:Warlo|Warlo]] Has hitchiked sparsely thru the pandemic and noticed no significant difference, particularly in Germany where rides are quick and plenty as usual. Also he is very surprised how up until this writing, no driver (and passengers if any) were interested in his offers to wear a mask, sit in the back, etc.
[[User:Rebew|Rebew]] hitchhiked from [[Berlin]] to [[Denizli]] after the vaccines were mostly rolled out, in July 2021. Masks are optional and most drivers do not care. However, if you thumbed with the mask anywhere on your body, it significantly reduced the chance of getting picked up. In Western countries you would sometimes get asked for your vaccination, but mostly because the drivers were scared of infecting you, not the other way around.

Citizens are able to get free tests (result should be available within 15-30 mins). You get a certificate via email that you can use for border crossing, going into some venues, etc. The procedures vary a lot from place to place, sometimes you have to register online for an appointment with a German address (so it's better bring an ID without an address, like passport, if you don''accomodation:'''t have a German address). There are a lot of centres, so if one refuses to test you for free, simply try another one. Just ask for "kostenloser Corona-Test" or "free citizen test". Better make sure it is in English as well if you want to use it for entering another country.

''Update: August 6, 2021''
All borders by land to [[Argentina]] and [[Brazil]] are closed, inbound airline traffic exists. There's a Buquebus ferry to [[Buenos Aires]] twice per week, with infrequent schedule and short-notice changes which tend to be not announced. Entry to the country is only permitted for Uruguayan citizens, residents or for travellers with special permits which must be applied for beforehand (family reunion, business).
