Out of curiosity, if a tourist were to test positive would they still be able to catch their return flight home or they sheltered for 2 weeks?

That has already happened.

They are returned to their home country ASAP unless they need emergency treatment.

If that still doesn't work, try a different browser (that's why I have Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all installed). It wouldn't surprise me at all if the site is storing a cookie to "remember" that you already answered No.

As of today, COVID-19 deaths per 1 million population for selected countries:
Belgium 838
UK 628
Spain 606
Italy 573
USA 370
Canada 224
Antigua 31
New Zealand 4
Jamaica 3
This is a measure of the effectiveness of each countries handing of the virus. The lower number the better.
The above numbers illustrate how important it is for Jamaica to get the reopening of the borders right. All the countries that make up the majority of our visitors have a much higher death rate per million. This is not meant to insult any country, just to demonstrate that the protocols and the ones to be introduced will be done to protect everyone in Jamaica, locals and visitors alike.
Jamaica has done a great job keeping our numbers down. When you visit, please follow the protocols in place at the time.

Not looking to argue , debate , or anything else , anyone with a brain that regularly checks the board can read "between the lines". I haven't commented on this board but maybe 2 or 3 times in at least 3 or 4 years but do check it when trips are close because I do appreciate Rob's info and trust it. I didn't appreciate the USA comment , I travel to Jamaica and Mexico a few times each year to escape negative USA news. I also know Marko , I know you and I know Rob , and a whole lot of folks know me and Badnaz , YOUR all my friends and would help any of you if needed when ever I'm in town. There's no need to beat anybody up we all want the best for Jamaica , Negril , and each other. We're all stressed right now and everyone needs a little space. I said my peace I'm done with it , you guys know where I stay we'll be there the 1st couple weeks of August , hope to see you. Peace
I stand by my post.....surprised the US was singled out...surprised where it came from because I agree with most of your positions and appreciate the information provided on here.....and the NEW virus spread very fast and believe most people here followed the guidelines given which btw Jamaicans now following. I don’t have a horse in this race and appreciate everyone on here. Not picking a fight with anyone. Bless all.
Well...I don't know how to explain further. As I've already said...the US was only mentioned because that's where the posters' live.
But...I guess you're getting the same feeling I get when Jamaica is being ridiculed.
Stay safe & cya all soon 👍
The simple facts are that the US has NOT done a good job handling this pandemic. The EU is banning incoming visitors who are from the US. WE (the US) are getting very confusing and conflicting information regarding the virus. It is also a fact that some in the US are complaining and posting negative things (not just here on this board) about Jamaica being cautious. I applaud Jamaica for their efforts. I personally am not sure that I feel travel is justified right now, but everyone needs to make their own decisions and I respect that.
WE have a trip planned at the end of September and are simply waiting to see if we are going to go. The way the virus seems to be spreading again/still in the US, it would not surprise me if US tourists will be banned from traveling to other countries.
Let's not forget that we are all in this together...
Cool runnings!
Good to see you on the board Jam!! It's been a while. We are itching to get back to Negril soon. I am retired now but my wife is still working so we will have to see how her schedule goes. She works for the DoD so she is an *essential* employee and has worked since day one of this *pandemic*. I could be wrong, bit I strongly believe that after the elections in Nov., we will not hear about *covid 19* again. I hope so. I am ready for things to get back to *normal*. We love to travel and miss it. Hope you guys are doing well.
