No testing for unvaccinated travellers on arrival at GAIA

August 18th, 2022

Effective August 20th, 2022 testing for un-vaccinated travellers on arrival at the Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) will be discontinued.

The Ministry of Health and Wellness (MHW), in its revised protocol for air travel, advises that unvaccinated travellers will require a rapid antigen test or PCR test, which should be taken within three days of arrival into the island.

Travellers are encouraged to download the BIMSafe app to upload their travel documents for smooth transition at the airport.

Chief Medical Officer, Dr. The Most Honourable, Kenneth George, says “once pre-flight COVID-19 test results are validated, travellers will be allowed to enjoy the island safely”.
