Statement on the reopening of Grenada’s borders

The Government of Grenada is cognisant of the many Grenadian nationals abroad wishing to return to Grenada, as well as others who are eager to visit our shores.

As the pandemic has worsened in major source markets, such as the United States, the government has put in place additional safety measures to ensure that we protect the health of Grenadians at home, and that we continue to successfully guard against the virus on our shores.

In view of this, the initial 1 July date indicated for the commercial reopening of Grenada’s borders had to be postponed because of the heightened risks seen in some major source markets. We also had to secure our domestic capacity to mitigate against any increased spread of the virus resulting from incoming passengers.

The Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation has been in contact with the management of the airlines and other stakeholders, as we plan for a smooth and secure process, when borders are eventually reopened. Flights and schedules will be announced in the coming days and weeks.

The reopening process takes into consideration the health risks possibly posed by passengers coming from different regions of the world.

Countries will be categorised as Low, Medium or High risk, for the purposes of entry requirements to Grenada.

  • From 15 July 2020, the airport will accept commercial flights from countries across the Caribbean region, viewed as Low risk.
  • From 1 August, the airport will accept international flights, from countries listed as Medium risk, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and other countries in the European Union.
  • Only chartered flights will be accommodated from all other countries not mentioned, until further notice.

Grenadian Nationals and visitors wishing to charter a flight from any country, in the interim, must do so through a private entity. Government has accepted a proposal from Caribbean International Trade Inc., to manage all the logistics of this engagement, including the verification of the health and testing requirements, and quarantine accommodations.

Grenada’s diplomatic missions abroad will continue to provide information, document requests, and keep a database of Nationals and anyone seeking to travel to Grenada, but the missions will direct everyone to the managing agency for all coordination of chartered flights, such as bookings and requirements for entry.

All information related to health, testing and quarantine entry requirements for travel can be obtained through Grenada’s diplomatic missions and tourism offices abroad; as well as from Caribbean International Trade Inc. at email: [email protected] and telephone numbers: 349 379-1922 or 473 415-0551.

Information can also be found on the Ministry of Health’s website covid19.gov.gd.

The Government of Grenada continues to encourage everyone to exercise extreme vigilance in daily activities, so as to safeguard health and save lives during this pandemic.

    Sorry to say my mom was a Us and grenadian citizen, but unfortunately she got sick in grenada and couldn’t come back to the USA because of the pandemic, we had her Admitted to the st. Augustine medical service in st. Paul’s, with an Uti infection, she was coming along pretty fine until that man L. N A mechi who said he is the doctor, director and administration of the hospital, he is only after money and not the welfare of the sick in grenada, when his pocket is full, he killing the patients grenadians please , please be aware of st. Augustine hospital, and the nurses are just as wicked as AMechi who said he is a doctor, grenadians need better treatment in the hospital, grenadians open your eyes and see what is going on in your country this is a beautiful island and don’t let foreigners come and manipulate you all, get rid of St Augustine hospital , not only my mom was killed in there , many more has been killed in there, God is going to deal with all those wicked people who call themselves medical practitioners.
