Ferry travel between Guyana and Suriname resumed yesterday after an almost year-long hiatus due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

A total of eight passengers departed Guyana on the MB Sandaka at approximately 9.00 am and eight others returned over the Corentyne River at 1.00 pm.

All passengers required a negative Polymerase Chain Reaction Test (PCR test) before they were allowed to travel.
