CARICOM agrees to ‘travel bubble’

In an effort to revive its travel and tourism sectors which have been battered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) members Heads of Government have agreed to the creation of a Travel Bubble for states that are low- or no-risk for the novel coronavirus.

With a large number of new cases daily and rising coronavirus deaths, Guyana is not included in the bubble.

Initially, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines will be in the Bubble as they currently meet the criteria.  Other Member States and Associate Members will be allowed to participate when they meet the criteria.
