BVI To Introduce New Travel Requirements For Fully Vaccinated Travellers
This is great news for yacht charters. Everyone still needs to have a negative test result before arrival, register with the BVI Gateway portal, and have a test upon arrival to the island. If you are fully vaccinated, once you get your arrival test result you are free of quarantine. Hurray!
PRESS RELEASE - APRIL 23, 2021
Minister for Health and Social Development, the Honourable Carvin Malone, stated that effective May 15, 2021 fully vaccinated persons travelling from overseas would require a PCR test within five (5) days of travel, provide satisfactory evidence of being fully vaccinated, and will be subject to a PCR test upon arrival (day zero). Fully vaccinated persons will be quarantined until a negative test result is received from the BVI Health Services Authority.
The Minister said, “In other words, if the test administered on arrival returns a negative result, the fully vaccinated traveller will be immediately released from quarantine unless they have been in close contact with a positive case.”
Minister Malone explained that a person is deemed to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 two weeks after they have received both doses of an approved two-dose vaccine, such as AstraZeneca, Pfizer, or Moderna or one shot of a single-dose vaccine such as Johnson & Johnson.
