Change in protocols to facilitate entry of US travellers

The Ministry of Tourism International Transport and Maritime Initiatives announced new measures for COVID-19 pre-arrival entry protocols for travellers originating in the US to Dominica with immediate effect.

In addition to the existing pre-arrival entry protocols for Dominica, all fully vaccinated travellers from the USA ONLY can now upload a pre-arrival negative Rapid Antigen Test result from swab taken 48 hours prior to expected arrival time into Dominica (not less than 24 hours). The Rapid Antigen Test results must be from an accredited/certified facility. Therefore, no Rapid Antigen Home Test or self-administered test results will be accepted.

Travellers must also be mindful that the current pre-arrival entry protocols for unvaccinated travellers remain the same.

Meanwhile, The Ministry of Tourism and the Dominica Air and Sea Ports Authority are pleased to announce that the Executive Lounge at the Douglas-Charles Airport is now open, and travelers can now await their flight in comfort and style and enjoy the complimentary benefits that come with it.

The lounge opens daily from 6:00am to 8:00pm. Some of the services provided at the Executive Lounge are Lounge seating, complimentary Wi-Fi, newspaper/magazines, tourism information & bookings, flight monitors, complimentary snacks, private rest rooms, personalized meet & greet, baggage assistance, assisted immigration & customs, taxi arrangement.

To book the lounge experience, travellers can call: 1 767 616-9086 or visit the website at www.DominicaExecLounge.com. The Executive Lounge packages and pricing comprise three categories: Concierge, Basic and A La Carte for both arriving and departing adults and children. In the interim, departing travellers can walk in directly to the Executive Lounge to book its use.

    So the government of Dominica has made determination the either or both the virus and the antigen tests originating from the US are different from everywhere else in the world.
    I thought these guys were stupid, now I know they are complete idiots.

    Cases in Israel are now up 24,688% since CNN reported booster shots had brought down the fourth wave

    In fact, Israel now leads the world in case rate despite mask mandates, vaccine passports & rolling out a fourth dose

    How much longer do we have to pretend The Science™ works?

    Why only travellers from the US? This smacks of selectivity based upon money and access, not facts. The politicization of Covid-19 has reached a new level of absurdity. This is just an example. This new rule should apply to all or none!

      Hey, as you can see it pays to be a resident, citizen or just pay a visit to the good old USA. So if you in SXM, Guada or Bdos and want come home just make a detour via Miami or NY and you qualify. LONG LIVE THE USA. Allu think old man Biden messing around :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    Does the fully vaccinated person traveling to Dominica still have to do another test at the Airport on arrival from the US after uploading a negative test from the US? That’s not clear to many of us trying to get to Dominica. Thanks

      Yes you still have to, the 2nd paragraph states so “in addition to the existing pre-arrival entry protocols for Dominica”

        Travellers must also be mindful that the current pre-arrival entry protocols for UNVACCINATED travellers remain the same.
