  1. Good day! I am reaching out to see if you would do a virtual author visit for 10 -12 kindergartners in June. I am not sure if you do author visits or not but it never hurts to ask. Our kindergarten summer school students are going to be “exchange students” in Iceland this summer.

  2. Eric-

    Do you have any reports that the authorities are actually allowing in the third country national (i.e., US/Canada) children of vaccinated parents without having to quarantine? I’ve read everything I can on this topic but it’s still unclear to me that the entry protocols for children that you describe apply to third country national children.

    Thanks,

    Bill

    • Hi Bill,

      I don’t have any reports either way yet. And like you, I worry that a strict reading of the rules at logreglan.is makes it seem like unvaccinated children would not be exempt from quarantine.

      I asked this question of the Icelandic Tourism Folks (islandsstofa.is) and they indicated that unvaccinated children could visit with vaccinated parents, and only quarantine until the results of the first test came back:

      “I am not sure why the Police do not have this information on their page but they don’t seem to talk about children and vaccination at all, not for the EU/EEA countries either.” (Lögreglan is the police.)

      That gave me enough confidence to say that children get the same treatment as their vaccinated parents.
