The Government of Grenada announces its commercial travel requirements. Grenada’s borders will reopen for regional travel from 15 July 2020. Borders will reopen for international passengers from 1 August.
All travellers must agree to the requirements before being allowed to book and travel to Grenada.
All travellers must complete, sign and submit a Health Declaration Form, and download and register on Grenada’s Contact Tracing App, both of which will be made available on covid19.gov.gd.
All passengers must pay all costs related to their travel (flight, quarantine reservations, costs of testing at origin and in Grenada…)
Monitoring:
The Contact Tracing App and other applicable devices will be critical for the quarantine process, and all travellers will be required to download and adhere to the requirements of the App or device, or face the penalty, enforceable by law (A fine of $1,000 or one year in prison).

- If the Rapid Test result is negative, the person will be allowed to proceed to their accommodations, and have freedom of movement.

People proceeding from regions and countries where there is active, but manageable, transmission (Canada, UK and other EU countries) are required to comply with the following requirements. All quarantine accommodation must be approved by the Ministry of Health, and paid for by the passenger. Non-nationals must also have travel insurance covering Covid-19, or declare that they will bear the cost for treatment and isolation.

I am coming from NYC and have quite a few questions and concerns:
– Will there be a different protocol if you’re coming from a low-risk area in the US, example NY?
– Low-risk is NOT no risk, ergo, someone can still pass on the disease. How come the protocol is not equivocal for everyone?
– I see that there is a geo-fencing watch that has to be worn. Is there a monetary charge for this watch? What data is this collecting? Is each person getting a new watch or is this going to be passed from person to person, if the latter, is this being disinfected appropriately?
– Again, what qualifies as “limited movement”?
– On arrival, is testing being done in a NEGATIVE PRESSURIZED ROOM? If not, depending on the test that is used, the testing process aerosolizes the virus, thus putting more people at risk as there is evidence the virus is airborne.
– If there is a different rapid test for people coming from high-risk areas? If not, please explain why a negative rapid is not a negative test across the board? A negative test should be a negative test despite where you’re coming from. RISK IS RISK and anyone can be asymptomatic or presymptomatic and still spread disease no matter the area they’re coming from. Grenada has positive COVID patients as well as Trinidad recently reported.
– Do we outright trust that countries are not underreporting COVID cases just to open up the economy?
It would be appreciated to have accurate, comprehensive, and updated answers to the questions posted in this and other associated articles please and thanks.
My whole point is this if anyone of u have families outside you’ll want them to be home . I respect the government for trying their best but the people have to help. .forget about tourist all countries is responsible for their nationals doesn’t matter where they are or what’s happening to them . Quarantine do what ever it takes just bring nationals home that’s where they belong . Low. Medium or high risk u the people have to be responsible also to adhere to the rules . Do u know the kind of lives grenadians outside are having to accept because they can’t get home . Yes tourism is money but without the nationals of grenada theres nothing . Please bring the nationals home Het blue is booked with nationals to get home. Do u pray test fill out u forms everything and bring the people our grenadians home and nationals in grenada stop being so damn mean u r safe because u do what u have to do so others can do the same and be safe .even if they allow 1 or 2 flights a week from jfk they can manage that forget visitors and tourist for now. Thank u

For those visiting from medium-risk places, does anyone know what “limited movement” constitutes? And is there a list of “approved accommodations”? What about those planning to stay with family in a private resident? I’m really struggling to find official information. Thanks in advance
I am amazed at some of these comments. Some of you are hypocrite. If you know Grenada oh so well; then you fully know that our medical system is not equip to deal with an outbreak of this disease. We suffer on island as it is without having COVID-19. How many of you have actually been to the hospital, or have had your loved ones there sick, can’t get the medication, can’t get oxygen, cant’ even get the ambulance to come to collect the sick form home and take them to the hospital. I am not telling you “they say” I live here and I have experienced it many times.
If you really care about the country then you would make the sacrifice to do what is necessary to protect the lives of its citizens and your family members who are here. If you are just coming to visit/vacation… then stay where you are and come another time when it will be cheaper (when test and quarantine is not required). If you are stranded and returning home.. then try your best to gather the funds and comply with regulations.
Everyone’s system is different. You want the country to loosen its regulations so you can come in, bring Corona but you survive the virus cause you had a better functioning immune system but then you kill hundreds? How would you feel if that happens… or maybe you don’t care!! Have you not seen the news? With hundreds of people on ventilators? WE AIN’T GOT THAT HERE PEOPLE!!!!! So stop being selfish and be real. The very first case we had was someone from overseas who imported it …. we can’t be naive. We must do what we have to to prevent the spread…. we ain’t have good foot, so we have to take in front.
Should an outbreak happen, all the tourist have their country to return to…. look SGU closed and planes came to take the precious US citizens. ….. when the tourist bring the illness and outbreak happens and they get repatriated back to their countries…. we have to deal with it… we have to watch our granny and grandpa and loved ones with asthma etc. suffer and die because of the crappy medical system we have. So sell out our loved ones for the tourist dollar? No amount of tourist money could compensate for loosing a loved one….
Come on people. THINK!!
And why would anyone with a half of Brain leave the comfort of your home n put yourself through all that . Know what they always say if you don’t like it stày home haha ain’t gotta tell me twice.(
Thank God Grenada is taking this serious. This disease is not something you roll the dice with. I would love to go. Help boast tourism. Maybe 2021 of they remain safe and keep being very cautious!
Just unbelievable. My Country just want to make money on people. This is BS
I have concluded that Grenada does not really want tourists, just returning Grenadians. Only a few hotels will open in August, most announcing they will remain closed until at least October.
These confusing protocols will discourage any visitors, I suspect most of the Air Canada flights will end up being cancelled.
Mumu, are you all rweady to die?? wats with some silly comments about government wanting to make money?/
and is only grenadiand they want to come in??
wait until August when the airport open for international flights and we grenadians start dying, let me hear some of you all talk then
