Bermuda Premier David Burt has welcomed a ruling on Friday by Chief Justice Narinder Hargun, who threw out a legal challenge to the government's controversial mandatory quarantine rules.
Under the recently introduced regulations, all unvaccinated travellers must quarantine for 14 days on arrival.
They are required to quarantine at a government-appointed hotel at their expense.
Vaccinated residents can quarantine at home when they return to Bermuda.
Lawyers representing three Bermudian residents challenging the restrictions had argued that the government failed to prove that mandatory hotel quarantining for non-vaccinated residents returning from overseas was a reasonable requirement to protect public safety.
Advocacy group, Bermuda Freedom Alliance, issued a statement saying the court ruling would be vigorously appealed.
