It doesn't mention visiting restaurants or split stay vacations though......
Let's wait and see what the actual rules are, the website hasn't been updated yet... just the flow chart.
Either way, it's trending in the right direction...
Just as when they set the "stay on property" order, the first place they mentioned it was on the flow chart. It took two days for the entire website to be modified.
We should be seeing the list of approved attractions that was once available again. Then of course the wording on all the necessary spots.
Changing a single graphic is easier than making all the changes to the site at once.
And some of the wording is already being changed....
So according to the flow chart, if you are not from a high risk state, a pre covid uploaded test is no longer a requirement for entry?
According to the website...Visitjamaica.com
The entire US is considered "High Risk" . So, no matter which state you live in you are considered "high risk"
Rob does a great job putting the info on here, but everyone should be reading the protocols at Visitjamaica.com for themselves. There is a great deal of info there...
Additionally, since the information changes often, I suggest that you visit the website often.
Realize this has probably been answered elsewhere but a couple questions please .
What is involved in the health assessment upon arrival?
If there is a positive result from the health assessment what happens?
If all is good with the assessment are you permitted to travel to buy groceries ?
Thanks
This is from the VisitJamaica site:
The pre-testing requirement described above is applicable to persons in this category if they are residents of locations designated as high risk by the Jamaican health authorities. The current list of high risk locations include the countries of Brazil, Dominican Republic, Mexico and United States of America (USA). Note that based on health screening and risk assessment on arrival, persons may still be required to be tested at the airport or designated facility, if, for example, they are exhibiting symptoms or belong to a high risk group despite presenting a negative COVID-19 PCR test certificate. In this case, they would await their test result in their hotel room.
If the test is negative, they would leave the confines of their hotel room and continue their stay in Jamaica under the “Stay in Resilient Corridor” control measure.
If the result of the test is positive, they would be isolated either at the hotel/resort or in a government facility as determined by the health authorities.
Persons not required to be tested on arrival will be allowed to go to their hotel/resort under the “Stay in Resilient Corridor” measure.
Rob, this following sentence is what worries me .
If the result of the test is positive, they would be isolated either at the hotel/resort or in a government facility as determined by the health authorities.
what government facility could they be speaking about ?.
last question also are tourists now allowed to shop at value master or hi lo ?
thanks again
Testing positive would worry me...
The procedure is if you are positive but asymptomatic, you would be isolated in the room designated by the hotel as their Covid room. If you are showing symptoms, they would want you to be able to be treated in a government facility. It may be a hospital or makeshift hospital. The Health Ministry would take all steps to get you back home asap, but only if you are able to travel, within a day if possible.
If you are one of the few to be tested here, it would be wise-smart- the right thing to do NOT to stop anywhere until your results are back. Be sure to inform your driver so they are aware of the added risk.
The government knows that you may need to do banking and some shopping, all the open stores are certified Covid Resilient so follow all the protocols if you do not need to be tested or test negative.
But if you are tested and are positive, the least thing of concern would be banking or shopping...
In addition, the hotel would probably have to be closed for a complete sanitizing process and all staff tested and quarantined at home for 14 days. Same with your driver.
A positive test result effects things drastically for everyone you come in contact with...
:confused:Does the resilient corridor include roads like Westland Mountain, Hermitage Roads and the road leading up to Red Dragon? Just trying to figure how narrow the corridor is.
Yes, those places are in the Corridor. There are properties listed that fall outside the "strict" definition used in the wording on the JTB website. Use it as more of a guide...Quote:
