Dominica places Barbados into "high-risk of COVD-19" lists

The Government of Dominica has taken a firm decision to revise the COVID-19 Country Risk Groups for travel from the CARICOM Travel Bubble, Low, Medium, and High-Risk Countries.

Effective January 6th, 2021, Barbados is reclassified to the HIGH-RISK classification. Travelers from Barbados to Dominica must submit the online health screening form and offer a negative PCR test where swabs are taken within 24-72 hours of entry into Dominica.

Upon exiting the port of entry, passengers will submit to a quarantine period of up to 7 days anywhere a PCR test is taken on day five after arrival, and events are expected within 24-48 hours.

Travelers must submit themselves to forced quarantine and may opt to quarantine at the Government treated facility or at a Safe in Nature confirmed property under a ‘Managed Experience’.

The Safe in Nature Commitment and Survived Experiences are available to all visitors, including guests from high risk assigned countries visiting Dominica.

Discover Dominica Authority continued to work with Health Officials to ensure visitors' safety and security to the island and with Tourism stakeholders to ensure the unique managed experience in a responsible manner.

The government of Dominica continues to put measures in place to ensure all its citizens are safeguarded from the coronavirus.

All travelers from across the world are put into 14-day mandatory quarantine, and after five days, these arrivals are re-tested for coronavirus.

So far, Dominica has conducted over 80140 PCR tests since the first case reported in March 2020. Dominica is among the small number of countries that recorded zero coronavirus related deaths since the pandemic started.

Currently, over 2 million people across the world have succumbed to death due to the contagious virus, which was first discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China.
