As the COVID-19 cases continue to fall, Bonaire decides to relax the travel conditions for the BES and CAS Islands.
Over the last couple of weeks, Bonaire has seen a drop in daily COVID-19 infections. Since the decrease in active cases has been consistent, Bonaire has decided to relax the travel conditions for people traveling from the BES and CAS islands.
Below is a transcript of the latest press release.
Bonaire will relax the travel conditions for travelers from the BES islands (which consists of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba) and the CAS islands (which consist of Curaçao, Aruba, and St. Maartin) from February 12, 2022. Fully vaccinated travelers from Curaçao, Aruba, and St. Maarten no longer need to take a PCR test to come to Bonaire. Travelers from those islands that are not fully vaccinated or unvaccinated must take a PCR test within 48 hours before departure or an antigen test within 24 hours before departure. Travelers from Saba and St. Eustatius to Bonaire will only need to complete a health declaration.
Due to the Omicron variant, Bonaire had tightened the travel conditions for visitors to the island since December 22, 2021. The travel conditions are adjusted when the situation allows. On the BES and CAS islands, the Omicron peak is now over. That is why the travel conditions for travelers from these islands to Bonaire have now been adjusted.
