The Bahamas announces measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic
Nassau's Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) will no longer provide COVID-19 testing and the Government has established restrictions
As of July 31, 2021, Nassau's Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) will no longer provide COVID-19 testing at the site; therefore, all testing arrangements must be scheduled at an alternate testing location.
At this time, all visitors leaving The Bahamas for the U.S., regardless of vaccination status, must obtain a negative COVID-19 viral test (PCR or Antigen) taken no more than three (3) days prior to the flying date.
The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Aviation (BMOTA) encourages all visitors, including vaccinated travelers, to make these arrangements prior to their scheduled departure, to avoid travel interruptions. For a complete list of approved trial sites, visit: https://www.bahamas.com/en/travelupdates.
In addition to the above notice, the Government of The Bahamas has issued updated restrictions effective Monday, July 26 for Nassau and Paradise Island, Grand Bahama Island, Eleuthera, and Harbor Island, including:
Daily curfews from 10 pm to 5 am.
Groups at beaches and parks are limited to five people
Spa services are prohibited
Due to the fluidity of COVID-19, the Government of The Bahamas will continue to monitor cases on the islands and will loosen or tighten restrictions as necessary. The Bahamas is an archipelago with more than 700 islands and cays, spread over 100,000 square miles, which means that conditions and cases of the virus may be different on each of the 16 islands available to receive visitors.
