Those who come to the island in the first weeks after the reopening will find some familiar hotels with open doors and several of the island’s top attractions open for business.
Travelers to Barbados will be required to either present proof of a negative COVID-19 PRC (swab) test upon arrival or immediately submit to a test and quarantine on Barbados (at their own expense) until receiving their test results.
Visitors from “high-risk” destinations like the U.S. will have to show proof of a negative test from an accredited laboratory conducted within 72 hours of departure.
Those from other countries will have up to one week prior to departing for Barbados to get their test done.
Officials say that test results could take up to 48 hours. Anyone testing positive will be placed in isolation.
Visitors also will be required tocomplete an online COVID-19 questionnaire with information about their personal health, wear face masks en-route to Barbados, maintain three feet of physical distancing, and submit to temperature checks, among other protocols.

“We want to create an environment that will allow people to come to Barbados to work, to rest and to play from here for an extended period of time during COVID-19,” she said. “Why? Because we know that this is one of the best places on earth to be and to remain because of the care we will take to protect the people of this nation and those who are here on island with us.”
