Barbados drops all Covid entry restrictions

As of September 22, Barbados has removed all its Covid-related travel protocols for international visitors, bringing it in line with most other Caribbean islands.

Prior to the this travel update, it can be recalled that unvaccinated arrivals were required to show proof of a negative test taken within three days of departure, while fully jabbed travellers had to have a vaccine certificate.

In line with the update is the removal of the requirement to wear face masks in all indoor spaces.

Masks only remain mandatory for people working in or visiting healthcare facilities, nursing homes or hospitals, as well as on public transport.

Lisa Cummins, the Minister of tourism and international transport, said that this is the last step for us which reflects their position as fully open for business following the Covid-19 pandemic.

The country looks forward to continuing to welcome visitors to its shores to experience all of the new and returning events slated for the rest of the year and into early 2023.
