If one would contract Covid while on the island, does anyone know if they can be evacuated back home via travel insurance, etc.?
The Jamaica Cares insurance that would have covered medical evacuation was announced in October to begin in November, but now they've gone silent about it.Quote:

Flashman....definitely check your policies/insurance etc.Quote:

Thanks Lisa. I was stressing about having to go to MoBay for it and also paying the day before. This makes it so much easier and no expensive ride to MoBay. See you in March.
The new requirements say we need the test 72 hours before we travel. Could you ask if they can do it in that time please. Thanks.
