Status of testing ?

Curious how the testing is going for tourists returning to the states
Is here I at the one site in Negril ?
How long has the wait been ?
Thanks

No one has tested positive in Negril. The Covid Resilient Corridor has been doing its job.

That’s great news. Has the line to get tested very long ? How quick has the turnaround been. ?? Thanks.

What line? Turn around time for which test? The PCR or antigen test?

Rob I would do the antigen test as I read it was less costly Was under the impression there was a place to drive up /walk up to get tested Wondering if there was a line of any length to get tested

The antigen test takes 15 minutes and costs significantly less than the PCR tests. You still need to make the appointment for the Boardwalk Shopping Village location.

You can also get tested at the airport now before your flight it takes so little time.

Hi Rob. I'm a little confused. I thought you didn't need an appointment for the drive-
through PCR testing at Boardwalk.

Originally an appointment wasn't needed....but there's not as many people as they thought might come through....thus an appointment is now required.

If someone tested in Negril and was positive would they be quarantined in Negril?
No worries about testing at home if by some chance your positive you stay home. Don't think I would want to be quarantined in Montego Bay. Or have to stay by myself in Montego bay if the hubby tested positive.

Testing positive and not being able to leave would make you have to quarantine in Jamaica. If you test in Negril, then you may be placed in the quarantine area rooms that all Covid Resilient properties are required to have available. Before Riu opened, it was being used as a quarantine facility. Now that it is closed again, that relationship may be started again.

Some properties are allowing quarantine for free, others at a reduced price. The government will be monitoring your process to see that you do not develop complications. Just an FYI, for Jamaicans, the vast majority are quarantining at their homes.

If one person tests positive and the other negative, the negative person would be allowed to leave.
