Barbados has discontinued the travel bubble which authorities implemented, exempting persons from select countries from further quarantine or testing upon arrival.
Countries with low COVID-19 positivity rates were included in the bubble which went into effect on July 17.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kenneth George says the decision to discontinue the bubble was due to increased positivity rates and the rising number of cases in many other Caribbean countries.
Dr. George pointed out that with the travel bubble no longer in effect, all protocols would now apply.
For vaccinated travellers, quarantine will be for 24 to 48 hours, while for unvaccinated travellers, quarantine will be for five days with a re-test on day six.
