The Caribbean country of Antigua and Barbuda is the latest country to be added to the list of countries waiving all Covid travel restrictions.
Positioned where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet, the booming tourism destination will make it easier now for all travelers to come to their slice of paradise. To enter the twin-island hotspot, travelers no longer needed to show proof of vaccination or a negative test to enter the country.
This recent announcement applies to passengers arriving by air or sea, all to reignite the once booming tourist economy on the pair of islands. The island continues to break tourism numbers, with an all-time-high visitor mark for the month of July.
Whilst the wearing of masks once on the island is not required, nor is social distancing, travelers are actively encouraged however to do so according to officials.
The official government statement read, “Antigua and Barbuda has benefited from a highly successful strategy of mass vaccinations, quick detection of imported and community-spread infections and proactive public awareness campaigns in significantly reducing Covid-19 infection levels for the past five months.”
The health authorities still may isolate passengers who do arrive with Covid-19 symptoms.
