Movements are highly restricted, especially in quarantine areas (including suburbs of Santiago). There is a nationwide curfew between 10pm to 5am. Essential services continue to operate, but at limited capacity. You can transit Santiago Airport, but you cannot pass through immigration. If you can't leave Chile and would like to, follow the link in the 'Overview' section to provide us with your details. If you remain in Chile for any reason, follow the advice of local authorities and take care to minimise your risk of exposure to COVID-19. Make arrangements for an extended stay, and keep in touch with family and friends so they know you're safe and well. For urgent consular assistance, call +61 2 6261 3305 (from overseas).
