The COVID-19 ‘CARICOM Bubble’, which had been considered for implementation in St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) from August 1st, has not been implemented.
The ‘bubble’ would have seen persons arriving from Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, BVI, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago being allowed to enter SVG without a COVID-19 PCR test and without begin subjected to quarantine.
The National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) in a release issued late Saturday, August 1st gave no reason for the delay in implementation of the bubble but said passengers arriving from these countries will instead have a COVID-19 PCR test done on arrival or be allowed to enter with a seven-day old PCR test.
