On December 14, the United Kingdom Public Health Agency reported a variant of SARS-CoV\u00a0and on December 19, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock appeared on television to declare that the \u201cnew strain\u201d was\u00a0\u201cout of control\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This announcement prompted a new strict tier 4 lockdown in\u00a0London\u00a0and\u00a0saw countries around the world suddenly banning\u00a0travel\u00a0with the UK.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The variant has been detected in Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium and Australia but the risk of importation into the Caribbean and rest of the world is high due to incoming travel from the United Kingdom and Europe.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

On Monday, December 21, 2020, the Caribbean Public Health Agency hosted an emergency meeting with\u00a0 PAHO\/WHO, OECS and the Chief Medical Officers of the region to discuss the new risk by this new variant.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Here\u2019s how some countries in the Caribbean have responded:<\/p>\n

Antigua<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Antigua & Barbuda is \u201cnot likely\u201d to impose travel restrictions on flights arriving from United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Bahamas<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Bahamas Health Minister Renward Wells said that the situation in the United Kingdom is being monitored but there are no immediate plans to impose a travel ban. There are currently no direct flights from the UK to the Bahamas, as these are scheduled to begin again in February.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Barbados<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minister of Health Jeffrey Bostic has indicated that the country is being vigilant about the new COVID-19 strain\u00a0but there will be no travel bans at this time.<\/p>\n

Cayman Islands<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the next commercial inbound repatriation flight due to arrive in the Cayman Islands from the UK on January 5 2021, Government\u2019s Programme Board, which oversees protocols for Travel Cayman, is currently assessing the situation with regards to the new strain of coronavirus identified in the UK. Officials say they will put additional measures in place around the flight, as needed, to protect the community but there are currently no travel bans in place.<\/p>\n

Dominican Republic<\/strong><\/p>\n

All commercial passenger flights to and from the UK have been banned until at least January\u00a010, 2021. This excludes cargo, mail, technical, and medical air transport, and commercial overflights. The measures are in addition to other COVID-19-related travel protocols and internal measures, which are likely to remain in place through at least the start of 2021.<\/p>\n

Grenada<\/strong><\/p>\n

As of December\u00a022, officials have suspended all passenger air traffic between Grenada and the UK. Anyone who has been in the UK within the previous 14 days is banned from entering Grenada. This will remain in effect until further notice. International travel to and from other locations is continuing.<\/p>\n

Guyana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minister of Foreign Affairs Hugh Todd said the issue of banning travel to Guyana from the United Kingdom is yet to be discussed by the government.<\/p>\n

Jamaica<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jamaica was the first\u00a0Caribbean\u00a0country to impose a\u00a0ban.\u00a0A statement issued Monday morning (December 21) by the Ministry of Health and Wellness said the ban would take effect immediately, prohibiting all flights from the UK to Jamaica for an initial two-week period ending January 4, 2021. Passengers onboard the three flights that\u00a0arrived before midnight on Tuesday were subjected to quarantine and testing on arrival.\u00a020 of the passengers who arrived in Jamaica from UK on Monday tested positive for the virus; the samples will be sent to CARPHA to determine if they were carriers of the mutated strain.<\/p>\n

St. Lucia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saint Lucia will not impose a travel ban on the United Kingdom. \u201cThere is no indication at this point of increased infection severity or virulence associated with the new variant or changes with the vaccine efficacy,\u201d said the Ministry of Health in a statement.<\/p>\n

St. Vincent & the Grenadines<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mandatory quarantine period for persons arriving from high-risk countries, including the UK, has been increased\u00a0from 5 to 10 days starting from Wednesday, December 23. The quarantine must take place\u00a0at a pre-approved quarantine hotel at the traveller\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n

Trinidad & Tobago<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travellers to Trinidad & Tobago who have been in the\u00a0United Kingdom within 14 days of travel will need a negative PCR test within 72 hours of travel and will be required to be placed in state quarantine or state-supervised quarantine for a 14-day period.<\/p>\n
