St Vincent and the Grenadines, which reopened for tourism last month, has implemented a series of changes to its travel protocols including the addition of a quarantine period for U.S. travelers on commercial flights.<\/p>\n
St Vincent and the Grenadines had already been requiring a negative COVID-19 result within seven days of arrival for all U.S. travelers.<\/p>\n
All travelers will also be tested immediately upon arrival.<\/p>\n
Now, the country is requiring proof of a fully-paid reservation in an approved hotel for five nights, and an initial quarantine in the approved hotel for five days.<\/p>\n
After that period, the traveler will be tested again before their release from quarantine.<\/p>\n
The requirements for discharge from quarantine include a negative PCR test; no close contact with a positive case; absence of signs and symptoms and a determination that the traveler is not at high risk for being exposed.<\/p>\n
And depending on the risk after that point, travelers will quarantine for a period of nine to 16 days at the discretion of the Port Health Officer.<\/p>\n
Travelers from other source markets like Canada will have to show a negative COVID-19 PCR test received within five days of the date of arrival or take a test upon arrival.<\/p>\n
Those who take the test on arrival will have to quarantine until their results are available at least 24 hours.<\/p>\n
The country is also requiring all travelers to fill out this form.<\/p>\n
See below for the full list of approved hotels. <\/p>\n
