at resorts comes on the heels of the recent implementation by the United Kingdom and the United States of America that all returning residents must have a negative Covid-19 test.\u00a0 The US and UK testing requirements make allowances for the use of the rapid antigen test.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Canada, where the testing requirement was first implemented, travellers to Canada are required to have a negative RT-PCR.\u00a0 RT-PCR Testing is presently administered at the Mount St. John Medical Centre (MSJMC). The MSJMC on January 25 announced that the hospital will also be administering the antigen test to the general public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resorts in Antigua have reported cancellations from Canada, UK and the US since the announcement of new return testing requirements by their respective Governments. Potential visitors have voiced concerns about the cost of the return and availability of testing on the island.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alex de Brito interim Chairman of the ABHTA remarked that\u00a0<em>\u201cWe are at another stage of our journey in managing our way through the pandemic and the support of the Ministry of Health in approving Antigen testing on resort will greatly help us to secure the few bookings we have.\u00a0 What has become even more concerning is that guests are now required to not only have the negative test but also quarantine on their return home, another barrier which will again negatively impact the industry.\u00a0 We clearly have a long road ahead as we continue to face these challenges however, our swift reaction to the new normal will define our success and we are grateful for the support of the Minister of Health the Honourable Sir Molwyn Joseph, the Chief Medical Officer Dr. Rhonda Sealey Thomas, Dr. Simon and Dr. Duncan of the Mount St. John Medical Centre in offering us the opportunity to make this possible for our guests.\u201d<\/em><\/p><div id=\"antig-3868065412\"
