Authorities in the Bahamas relax COVID-19-related entry restrictions as of Sept. 26 and mask restrictions effective Oct. 1.
Event
Authorities in the Bahamas relaxed the country's COVID-19-related international travel restrictions and domestic measures Sept. 26. Travellers are no longer required to submit pre-travel COVID-19 tests, regardless of vaccination status. Visitors who show signs of COVID-19 symptoms are required to take a PCR test; those who test positive are required to isolate for 5-14 days. Unvaccinated visitors will be required to submit a daily health questionnaire throughout their stay. Capacity limits for events are no longer in place.
Effective Oct. 1, facemasks will only be required in medical settings and schools.
Current Domestic Measures
Until Oct. 1, officials require individuals to wear facemasks in most indoor public places.
Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
Advice
Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Reconfirm all travel arrangements. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions.
