Did anyone got in to Brazil with an PCR test only and not one RT-PCR ?

Is the PCR test that’s checked ok first embarkation point true for domestic only? If I fly SFO - Houston - São Paulo, would the PCR test start at SFO or the first embarkation point departing to Brazil in Houston? I have a 10 hour layover and my PCR will expire by flight from Houston to São Paulo. Do you know who I’d contact to verify?

FYI for anyone who reads this, the Embassy stated that it’s up to the airline. It appears Brazil doesn’t have a definitive answer and to contact United. :/

I was in Brazil in December prior to the PCR requirement and heading back in March. Do you happen to know if they are asking for PCR results upon entry to the border? The embassy site shows 72 hours before departure -- will entry be prohibited if my PCR is longer than 72 hours when arriving in Brazil?

It's checked on the first embarkation point of your journey and checked again on arrival, but the time only counts from the first embarkation point

PCR sounds good, but it has no practical purpose. First of all, anyone could be infected after they take the test. The only common sense approach is to test for symptoms at the airport. Colombia and Mexico have this right.

So, a PCR test is sufficient? The Embassy's website states RT-PCR, tested no more than 72 hours prior to travel. Before I contact the Federal Police, does anyone happen to know if the regular PCR test is acceptable? I'm leaving for Brazil from Alaska on December 31, but my flight actually leaving the US doesn't take off until 24 hours later, and I don't know when the 72 hour clock starts... This will be important for me given the testing turn around times. Please help, and thank you!
