Barbados move UK to "High Risk" on 1st October

[stanleycamel]

From 1st October the UK will move from medium to high risk for travel to Barbados.

Even with proof of a negative Covid PCR test on arrival, being in this category now means a requirement to quarantine in a government-designated “holding hotel or approved villa at their own expense, or free of charge at a government facility”. Now UK arrivals under the high-risk categorisation will have to take a mandatory second test four to five days after the first accepted negative test. If the second test proves negative then quarantine will no longer be required. The permitted "holding hotels are as follows:-

Cobblers Cove Hotel
Coconut Court Hotel
Courtyard Marriott
Dover Beach Hotel
Golden Sands Hotel
Hilton Barbados Resort
Meridian Inn
Pirate’s Inn
Sandals Royal Barbados
Sunbay Hotel
The Crane Resort
White Sands Beach Condo and Villas
Worthing Court


The travel advice on the UK FCDO site has been amended to reflect this change. The visitbarbados.org website has a very comprehensive Covid-19 section too

Agreed. I was wondering when countries would start doing this to the UK.

I was thinking of a break but until UK gets his house in order we will remain persona non grata to a growing number of countries.

Back to non planning for me
