Re: This isn’t good for US travelers
This is essentially the US saying they strongly discourage international travel, but if you do decide to travel we are going to present some obstacles for you before you can re-enter the country. If this policy extends into our trip timeline, we will cancel. That is too much to deal with for a trip that is supposed to be relaxing.

This testing will be required for all travelers flying into the United States from anywhere. In order to get on a plane flying to the US after January 26, 2021, you will need a 3 day old or less negative Covid test or an official authorization from your health care providerto travel if you had Covid.
This apparently is for everybody.

Heavy cases? There is no country on Earth with heavier cases than the US.
Re: This isn’t good for US travelers
We are staying ????? at Idle Awhile and I called there and asked about the procedure for getting the Test to return to to the States..... I was told we have to go to Omega Medical and get the test there at $300 U.S. per person....... Gonna have to think twice about going .....

There are around 10 countries on Earth with heavier deaths/1MM people than the USA. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Re: This isn’t good for US travelers
I agree, sad news for JA. Group of 20+ are all talking about canceling our trip in April again.

There is more news coming including the fast tracking of the Jamaica Cares Travel Insurance by February 1st. Give it a few more days to find out what is really happening. April is a long ways off...
Re: This isn’t good for US travelers
Hope good news comes soon as there are 16 of us scheduled to arrive on Jan 30th......and most are looking to cancel soon......
Re: This isn’t good for US travelers
The rapid Antigen tests will be available before the 26th and you should be able to have it done at the resort. Cost is minimal, under J$10,000 and possibly free with results back in less than an hour - most likely 15 minutes.
Should have final details by Monday.
