Bonaire’s current number of COVID-19 cases allows for an extension of measures.

Bonaire’s latest COVID-19 update from Lieutenant Governor Edison Rijna announces that the risk level 2 measures will be extended until December 2nd of this year.

Below is a transcript of the latest announcement.

With the current number of infections and the available care for COVID patients at Fundashon Mariadal, there is no reason to take stricter measures now. The number of infections is also slowly decreasing. That is why the measures that are currently in force will be extended for another month.

Now that the measures are being extended, for example, for private meetings, a maximum of 50 people may be present. A maximum of 100 people applies for events, and 50% of the capacity is allowed. Catering establishments may be open until 00:00, and at these establishments, there may be singing and dancing outside.

The list of countries per risk level has been updated.

As the COVID-19 situation is constantly changing, countries are monitored closely by the government and adjusted as needed. Before you travel, be sure to double-check your country on the latest list.

Below is a transcript of the latest updates to the list of countries.

As of November 1, 2021, the United States will no longer be a very high-risk country for Bonaire but a high-risk country. It means that the mandatory test on the fifth day after arrival no longer applies to travelers from the US. Bonaire has adjusted the list of risk countries, and the adjustments will apply from November 1, 2021.

Brazil and Costa Rica were formerly very high-risk countries and are now considered high-risk countries. Fully vaccinated travelers from those countries must complete the health declaration and have a PCR test within 48 hours before departure. Unvaccinated travelers from these two countries must complete the health declaration and have a PCR test 24 hours before departure or the PCR test within 48 hours before departure and an antigen test on arrival.

Argentina and Canada were previously high-risk countries but have become low-risk countries on the new list. Fully vaccinated travelers from these two countries no longer need to be tested before their trip to Bonaire. They must complete the health declaration. The risk level has been adjusted for several European countries.

Denmark, Germany, France, Finland, France, Portugal, and Spain were previously high-risk countries but have become low-risk countries. Fully vaccinated travelers from these countries do not need to be tested. However, they must complete the health declaration for their trip to the island. Non-vaccinated travelers from these countries must complete the health declaration and have a PCR test within 48 hours before departure.

The new overview with the risk levels for countries is available, and the travel conditions for travelers to the island are listed. The countries not on the list are considered high-risk countries.
