Anguilla actualizează protocoalele de sănătate publică pentru vizitatori

“We worked diligently with the Ministry of Health to develop our protocols, which secured Anguilla’s position as the leading destination in the successful management and control of the pandemic,” declared the Hon. Parliamentary Secretary Tourism, Mrs. Quincia Gumbs-Marie. “We have continued this successful collaboration in designing our Exit Strategy, which will allow us to rebuild our industry and return to full employment as welcome our visitors back to Anguilla.”

The following measures came into effect on Monday, April 12, 2021: 

  • The stay in place mandate for international travelers who are fully vaccinated, with the final dose administered at least three weeks (21 days) prior to arrival, is reduced from 14 days to seven days.
  • Persons will still be required to submit a test 3 – 5 days prior to their arrival, be tested on arrival and at the end of the quarantine period.
  • Multi-generational families and/or groups with a mix of unvaccinated and vaccinated persons will all have to quarantine for a 10-day period, utilizing only approved short stay services.

  • The Entry Application Fee for fully vaccinated returning residents or visitors who are staying in an approved private dwelling home is US$300 per individual, and $200 for each additional person.

  • All frontline hospitality workers, along with port and transportation staff are required to receive the COVID-19 vaccination (first dose by May 1).

“We have safely welcomed thousands of guests over the past five months, and we are confident that we will continue to do so under this amended regime,” declared Mr. Kenroy Herbert, Chairman of the Anguilla Tourist Board.  “Our visitors appreciate the extra steps we have taken to ensure their safety while enabling them to experience our exceptional tourism product.  There is tremendous interest in Anguilla, and we are seeing a significant increase in our arrivals; our forward bookings for this summer and particularly Winter 2021/22 are also very encouraging.”

It is estimated that 65% – 70% of Anguilla’s resident population will have been fully vaccinated by the end of June 2021, enabling the island to achieve herd immunity.  Starting on July 1, Anguilla will remove the fee and quarantine requirements for visitors who are fully vaccinated at least three weeks before arrival.  The entry protocols will be further revised in phases, leading to the elimination of all requirements by October 1, 2021.

Despre Anguilla

Ascunsă în nordul Caraibelor, Anguilla este o frumusețe timidă, cu un zâmbet cald. Cu o lungime subțire de corali și calcar înconjurat de verde, insula este înconjurată de 33 de plaje, considerate de călătorii pricepuți și revistele de călătorie de top, ca fiind cele mai frumoase din lume. O scenă culinară fantastică, o mare varietate de spații de cazare de calitate la diferite prețuri, o serie de atracții și un calendar palpitant de festivaluri fac din Anguilla o destinație atrăgătoare și fascinantă.

Anguilla se află chiar lângă calea bătută, așa că și-a păstrat un caracter fermecător și atrăgător. Totuși, pentru că se poate ajunge în mod convenabil din două porți majore: Puerto Rico și St. Martin și, prin aer privat, este un salt și un salt departe.

Romantism? Eleganță descultă? Șic neobișnuit? Și fericirea netrecută? Anguilla este Dincolo de Extraordinar.
