- From 31 July 2021, unvaccinated visitors will be denied entry
- Residents and citizens can return to Grenada whether vaccinated or unvaccinated
- Only 14,910 individuals have been fully vaccinated at 11 July 2021
Grenada has made 2 amendments to its entry protocol. As of 31 July 2021, immigration officers will deny entry to any visitors who are unvaccinated against the Covid-19 virus. Children under 13 will only spend 48 hours in quarantine once they are accompanied by a fully vaccinated individual.
“Effectively immediately, persons 13 years and under travelling with a fully vaccinated party will be treated as that party, fully vaccinated with respect to quarantine,” Health Minister Nickolas Steele announced during the weekly post cabinet briefing on Tuesday, 13 July 2021.
“So, if you are travelling with children 13 and under and you and everyone else in that party is fully vaccinated, then the entire party will only have to do 48 hours quarantine. Individuals over the age of 5 are swabbed like all other adults at the airport,” he clarified.
“Residents and citizens can return to Grenada whether vaccinated or unvaccinated,” said Steele who used the opportunity to extend an apology for those who may be affected by the announcement in a negative way. “We apologise for any inconvenience this may bring to persons. We have had consultation with the Grenada Hotel and Tourism Association and other stakeholders to give them as much warning as possible,” said the health minister.
Lamenting about the slow pace at which citizens are becoming inoculated with the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, Steele said that Grenada’s low rate of infection is linked directly to the island’s strict measures at ports of entry. “To date we have been spared because of the restrictive measures that have come at a significant inconvenience to us all,” said Steele as he referred to neighbouring countries that are currently experiencing community spread of outbreaks of the virus.
Grenada began its vaccination programme in mid-February and to date less than 20% of the population who are eligible to be vaccinated have been inoculated. As of 11 July 2021, the number of individuals receiving the vaccine is 35,331 and from that number 14,910 received 2 doses.
This vaccine will kill you eventually look at Johnson & Johnson cases, Pfizer and moderna have all reported a high volume of deaths on the CDC website and the list of side effects is so long they actually state it on their website. This is a plot to make more individuals get this evil vaccine that was made in 5 minutes and has not even been properly tested. This protocol will not last long so don’t even waste your time worrying about it . Do not be a sheep think for yourself !
If you don’t want the jab, you are free to go somewhere else.
Or how about those who are Covid frightened of living a normal life lock themselves away in their home…… and let the rest of us who want to live and not simply just exist, get on with our daily life full of inescapable risks.
i think you have not been made aware of this site (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, USA). the numbers here are, for me, scarier than what covid 19 would do to me…..

i hear the number of deaths in EU are twice as bad. if i find the link to a proper source, i’ll pass it along.
This is crazy I won’t say much because the people in the comments for the most part understand that there is something bigger at play here. Everyone don’t want that gene therapy. So Grenadian Government you rely on tourism why you doing this. A very sad day when governments sell out for a buck
what is wrong with using this for the people who don’t want the vaccination?

The government of Grenada like most of the governments on the planet have been bought and paid for by the likes of the WHO, Bills Gates and his many organizations and the Chinese Communist Parties through their many front organizations include if the WHO and anyone with any power in China.
I urge those with access to the internet to do some independent research and not just trust the line coming from the government and popular media.
How can an illness with a survival rate of over 99.7% for the average person without any outstanding Heath issues warrant such a response? Think corruption!!!
The person who calls himself a physician and goes along with the narrative is, in my opinion, either a quack, lazy and refuses to do his own research or a coward who is afraid to speak truth.
Take the vaccine, which which may in fact be gene therapy depending on which Covid shot you get, if you wish and if it’s nearly as effective as they say then you will be protected from those who refuse to get the shot. You should be satisfied with your new protection and soon enough those who refuse will die off and all will be well.
At least they will die as free men and women.
Outrageous..terrible decision…you will find your your expected tourism turnaround will definitely NOT. where are you all going with this stupid decision. What idiot thought of that one. This is a sad day for Grenada and its people.
Where was the problem to just leave the decision to everyone themselves, if he or she wants to get vaccinated or not?
Just keep the actual restrictions to quarantine for 7 days for unvaccinated and pay your tests and expenses what also fills rooms in Hotels. It worked until now and would work in the future.
No need for harder restrictions and judging people’s decisions.
I know already more than 10 people myself that had planned to come visit Grenada and will choose another place to go and spend up to 4 month of holidays.
Sad for the countries reputation and chance to get all interested visitors to experience this beautiful islands.
Finally a policy that makes sense. It should go even further, returning nationals should also be fully vaccinated. Dump the 72 hours PCR test. Fully vaccinated should be able to travel to Spice; however, they must agree to be tested upon arrival in Grenada and quarantine until test results.
Slice, you do realise the Spike protein is NOT a cure.
Even if 100% were injected with this Experimental mRNA drug by its design…. its NOT able to kill SarsCov2 but merely reduces some symptoms of the disease CV19.
And why kill SarsCov2 with HCQ, Ivermectin, Azithromyicin, Doxycycline, Vit C, D3 or Zinc, when you can keep the Covid scam going indefinitely and make Billions.
South Dakota, Texas and Florida have been wide open, no lockdowns, no masks, no forced injections (unlike those stuck in places like Coumo-land) …..and, they have lower infection and deaths rates than States with mass Lockdowns, Masks, Injections.
Obviously no one in Grenada bother to look at anything other than…..the Sky is falling CNN….. because there is lots of Empirical data.
I agree with you that letting Unvaccinated Grenadians and those under 13 Entry to Grenada, while Blocking any Unvaccinated non Grenadian visitor makes zero sense.
Just another illustration that Grenada enitire CV19 policy have never been based on Health but rather Politics.
Most establishments in Miami, at least, still require masks for entry.
Well if Grenada think I’m going to vaccinate myself to enter her, she can go to hell, she sell her soul for whah?
We all need to be realistic. . As a Physician seeing COVID-19 causing numerous deaths and long term suffering with daily hospitalizations totalling over 150-160 patients in our hospitals at the height of the pandemic, to that number decreasing to 6-8 a few weeks ago since the advent of vaccinations. Presently hospitalizations have increased to 25-30 daily with 95% of admissions being un-vaccinated (mostly young..30-40 year olds) patients with the Delta variant. No one wants to take medications unnecessarily, however, as someone who experienced the worse events of my 28 year medical career, the vaccines were an absolute necessity. Side effects and unfortunately death can occur as with any therapy we administer as Physicians, however, the data clearly indicates by far the overall benefit.Millions across the globe have been treated. There will always be a lot of misinformation and naysayers. Be careful what you read and analyse thoroughly. Grenada has done a remarkable job in limiting death to only one person and few hospitalizations. But believe me you do NOT want to see what COVID-19 can do to our people. I have seen horrible deaths. Unless you keep the country in a lockdown mode with drastic effects to the economy then I would encourage vaccinations.
That’s not true
Why force people to take something that is not even tested and when the cases are so low but yet try to make everyone get vaccinated with a vaccine which no one or company wants to be held accountable for when their are deaths and complications from this drug
If you take a drug for allergies is gives you restrictions and tell you to get doctors permission or consult your physician but these drugs for the covid does give no restrictions doesn’t tell of side effects put yet you want people to take this drug and if you don’t you may have restrictions in place for you or prohibited to just move about the world freely. .
Keep your vaccine to you and your counterparts
Unfortunately untill we actually experience what this virus can do people will keep spewing their conspiracy theories god forbid that this virus truly breaks loose in Grenada i wonder how many of these no believers will be running to get “the jab:
Good to hear from a Doctor but if you had that many deaths then your Medical Treatment Protocol was ineffective and negligent given the many Medical Treatments that kill SarsCov2.
I suspect you had/have high death rates because you never used, Vit C, D3, Zinc, HCQ, Ivermectin, Azithromycin, Doxycycline, etc etc.
Dogmatic Medical Practitioners resulted in many more dying needlessly.
30,000 dead, millions injured permanently after injecting this Experimental mRNA drug.
So I am not filled with confidence when you advocate for this Experimental drugs.
Absolutely, medical therapy across the US has been second class and ineffective. All the experts here obviously don’t know what they are doing!!As someone stated I guess I am a quack and lazy…good response. I suppose experts across the globe where millions have died are also quacks. Trust me I don’t wish this on my worst enemy. Well, lets see how this plays out. Open up the country and make sure you have Zinc/Vit C/ Invermectin/Azithromycin and Doxycycline. Cases are low in Grenada because a good job has been done with the lockdown process, but this can’t last forever. And to Kesri Johnson you have NO knowledge of Florida…guess where I am..DUH. The states with low vaccination rates ARE the ones with the highest current cases!!
Did you read my post? I never mentioned deaths. I stated the significant drop in hospitalizations since the administrations of vaccines and the now increase with the Delta variants in un-vaccinated people. As everything else, some just don’t read clearly but impose their views. In the short time the vaccines have been out “Real World” data has already been collected due to the volume administered , unlike when drugs are initially approved and it takes years to collect date re efficacy and side effects. Has any data been collected re the 14K plus vaccinated in Grenada concerning side effects? Anyway I rest my case. Everyone can make their own decision and believe whatever information of their choice.
Nope, no data of Adverse Reactions to the mRNA injections haave been collected yet alone published in Grenada.
Like Ostriches they bury their heads to make a serious problem disappear.
Statistically at least one possibly two deaths and hundreds of side affects should be the result in Grenada so far.
That’s a pity. One of our problems is that we don’t collect our own data and publish results. I should blame myself as well (but that’s another story). Don’t get me wrong. I’m not mandating vaccinations, just recommending. You have to be careful with mandates (especially Governmental) as it can set a possible legal precedent , which can be used in the future for something asinine by some Politician.
Garth you sound like a good Doctor. Certainly you seem to open to consideration of Medications that are available and what appear to work.
As we have seen over and over from the CV19 infection data and curve, there is a sharp rise, then after the sick and vulnerable die off, the death rate decline.
So claim that death rates have fallen because of the mRNA drugs, is not related to cases that fall with ir without injections.
Case in point this week, both the UK and Australia have had to turn their Navy ships around after a Royal Navy ship with 1400 crew fully double jabbed, put to sea. Now over 100 of young fit healthy crew are infected on an isolated floating ship on the ocean.
The average age of death from CV19 is 83 years old. The average life expectancy in Grenada is 69-70. So that puts the Covid Scaremongering into perspective because howvmany will actually make it to 83?
If I was in charge of Grenada’s Public Health, I would inform Individuals who wish to inject the Experimental mRNA drug of all the side effects from the UK, EU and US and China. It would be left to the choice of a Free Individual to decide for themselves, whats best for theirvown personal health.
Also I would free of charge… distribute, cheap Vitamin, C, D3, and Zinc to every person.
In addition I would free of charge ……distribute 6 doses of cheap Ivermectin per person for those who feel ill early on and wish to kill any possible SarsCov2 virus infection.
HCQ, Azithromyicin, Doxycycline, Quercitin, eyc etc, would be freely available and affordable.
After 2023 and the safety data for the various mRNA drugs have been analysed, I would evaluate and then advise the public what the safety data shows.
If some individuals still demanded injections, I would make sure they are available for any Individual Health choice.
But…I am just a nobody who think of cheap simple solutions that do not infringe on the rights of individuals.
Not a cabal of Elites, politicians and psychopaths, growing very rich from this Covid scam.
Garth you are in an alternate universe thinking these deaths are from a freak Pandemic of covid. One thing this HAS done is cured heart sttacks, common colds, pneumonia and old age.
Where is your Hippocratic oath “to do no harm”. Your ears must be burning….
It’s not burning at all. How many COVID-19 patients have you seen?
This is absolutely CRAZY is MADNESS NO NO NO NO we have to stand up, it’s not fair if you don’t want to take the vaccination YOU SHOULD NOT FORCED ANYONE TO TAKE IT, TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL. You are not injecting me with that stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE SICK IN THE HEAD!!! No No No
IM SAYING NO!!!!!!
I’ve been living in Grenada for ten years am I consider a resident?l have an apartment will I be able to quarantine there as have haven’t been vaccinated due to health reasons.
Long as you have Grenadian passport…you are Grenadian
