Statia Eases Entry Rules for Travelers
By: Caribbean Journal Staff - February 1st, 2022
The Dutch Caribbean island of Statia has eased its entry rules for travelers, Caribbean Journal has learned.
The new policy, which went into effect on Feb. 1, mandates a negative PCR test within 48 hours before departure to Statia.
The island has removed what had been a mandatory entry test for vaccinated travelers.
Statia is open to vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers; vaccinated travelers must submit to monitoring for five days; unvaccinated travelers must stay in quarantine for seven days.
A mandatory antigen test at the end of the quarantine or monitoring period is still required.
Travelers who test positive while on the island have a mandatory isolation period of seven days, down from what had been a 10-day period.
