International visitors arriving in St.Lucia must now obtain a negative Covid-19 PCR test no more than five days before arrival, effective Feb. 10.
The prior protocol called for a PCR test seven days before arrival.
"In order to coexist with Covid, we must constantly evaluate our safety and travel protocols," said Dominic Fedee, minister of tourism. "In consideration of all factors affecting the health of St. Lucian citizens and international visitors, we are tightening testing protocols based on our current conditions."
All arriving passengers must submit a Travel Registration Form at www.StLucia.org/Covid-19, complete screening and temperature checks at ports of entry, wear a mask in public places and be transferred by certified taxi to Covid-19 approved accommodations.
