    • Those coming in on Air Canada would not bring any Covid -19 Viruses with them.Only the Locals it is alleged spread the disease.

  2. If a visitor ( tourist ) departing
    Antigua has a positive Covid test, what is the protocol? Do they return to the hotel, etc. where they were staying?

  3. Don’t forget the protocol of no in seat dining, no bars or gyms open. Beach access is minimal,and 8 o’clock curfew. No water tours. Don’t forget to tell them that Max. The government will be killing tourism with these unfun mandates. If you are bringing them here, open Antigua.
