Barbados has scrapped its mandatory second PCR test requirement for fully vaccinated arrivals, its tourism board has confirmed.

Barbados has shelved its Covid-19 travel protocols

BA is adding extra capacity to Barbados this summer

The move, which came into effect on Sunday (24 October), also allowed those fully inoculated against Covid-19 with a negative PCR test result to avoid a mandatory quarantine period. 

However, health officials at the Caribbean island’s Grantley Adams International airport may select fully vaccinated travellers at random for a rapid antigen test on arrival. 

In this case, travellers must take the free test as directed, await the results and then depart the airport using approved transportation.
