Grenada: COVID-19-related restrictions remain largely unchanged March 1 /update 27

Event

As of March 1, the restrictions implemented in Grenada as part of efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19 remain largely unchanged by comparison with those in place during mid-February. A nightly 2200-0400 curfew is in effect; only workers in essential services are permitted to be outdoors during curfew hours. Commercial activity takes place as usual during non-curfew hours. Village shops may have no more than three people inside at a time. All social events at beaches and entertainment establishments are prohibited; however, weddings and funerals are allowed with no more than 20 people in attendance. Individuals are required to wear facemasks in all public spaces and must observe physical distancing protocols.

International travel is permitted, but officials continue to enforce strict entry requirements and quarantine measures for international travelers. The following travel protocols are in effect:

• All travelers are required to complete an online application to receive a Pure Safe Travel Authorization Certificate, which should be presented at the airport when entering Grenada. This application must be submitted at least 48 hours before departure.

• Travelers are subject to advanced health screenings upon arrival, even with the authorization certificate.

• Travelers over the age of five must present a negative result from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test taken within 72 hours before arrival.

• Visitors must have travel medical insurance that covers COVID-19-related illness.

• Travelers must confirm the reservation of a minimum of seven days at an approved Pure Safe Travel accommodation for observation and quarantine.

• Visitors intending to leave their Pure Safe Travel accommodation may take a PCR test on day five and remain in their accommodation until the test result is negative, or remain at their accommodation for the duration of their visit.

• Residents must take a PCR test on day five and may return home once the test result is negative. Persons testing positive will have to repeat the PCR test days 5-7 before being released, depending on test results and health clearance.

After receiving medical clearance, persons arriving in Grenada must continue to self-monitor for the remaining 14 days using the relevant self-monitoring mobile application.

The Grenadian government could reimpose international travel restrictions or tighten, ease, or otherwise amend the existing travel requirements and curfew measures with little-to-no notice, depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
