He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- As we closely monitor the COVID-19 cases within the Territory, we continue to see a trend of declining positive cases which gives us an optimistic outlook on the future of tourism in the destination and the confidence to loosen the restrictions on visitation from the U.
- International travelers, inclusive of the BVI ages 18 and older arriving in the USVI must provide proof of vaccination and a negative COVID test regardless of vaccination status and citizenship.
- Face coverings are no longer required indoors with a few notable exceptions including indoor and outdoor areas at ports of entry, indoor and outdoor areas at public, private and parochial schools and at all hospitals, nursing homes and healthcare facilities.
