Event

Authorities are tightening curfews across Grenada due to increasing COVID-19 activity. A nightly 19:00-05:00 curfew will be in effect Sept. 4-21. Additionally, weekend curfews will be in place 17:00 Sept. 10-05:00 Sept. 13 and 17:00 Sept. 17-05:00 Sept. 20. Individuals must remain at home during curfew hours, except for employees in essential services, people with medical emergencies or seeking COVID-19 vaccination or testing, and those with official authorization. Authorities permit members of the same household up to 90 minutes of outdoor exercise between 05:00-18:00 during weekend curfews. Facemasks are mandatory in public spaces for all individuals except children below seven years old. Physical distancing protocols are also in effect.

Officials have suspended travel between Carriacou, Grenada, and Petite Martinique islands except for essential reasons; permitted travelers must undergo a rapid antigen test before departure.

International Travel Restrictions
While different entry requirements are in force for fully vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers arriving in Grenada, the following restrictions continue to apply to all international arrivals:

• All travelers must complete an online application at least 48 hours before departure to receive a Pure Safe Travel Authorization Certificate and present it at the airport when entering Grenada. Proof of payment for a second COVID-19 PCR test taken after arrival is necessary to complete the application.

• Travelers over the age of five must present a negative result from a PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before departure for Grenada.

• All individuals are subject to advanced health screenings upon arrival.

• Nonresidents must have travel medical insurance that covers COVID-19-related illnesses.

Individuals who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days before travel can enter Grenada and must quarantine for up to 48 hours. These travelers must still present a negative PCR test result issued within 72 hours before arrival and must take another COVID-19 test at the airport upon arrival. Their quarantine will end once they receive a negative result from the second test. Fully vaccinated travelers must book an approved Pure Safe Travel accommodation for a minimum of two nights.

In most cases, unvaccinated travelers can only enter if they are residents or citizens of Grenada. They must quarantine for 7-14 days and be tested on day five after arrival. If the test result is negative, they may leave quarantine after completing seven days in isolation. Persons testing positive will have to repeat tests and can only end their quarantine period following health clearance. Unvaccinated travelers must confirm a reservation at an approved Pure Safe Travel accommodation for a minimum of seven nights for observation and quarantine.

After receiving medical clearance, all travelers must self-monitor daily for up to two weeks during their stay in Grenada 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.
