Travel Advisory for U.S. citizens on Bonaire who are still vacationing.
The U.S. Consulate General Curacao has issued a health and travel alert for all American citizens in the Dutch Caribbean.
As of March 18th, there are no cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on Bonaire, or its sister islands of Saba and St. Eustatius.
The governments of all islands of the Dutch Caribbean have implemented enhanced screening and quarantine measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice. U.S. citizens who are considering returning to the United States are urged to work with their airlines to make travel arrangements while flights are still available. All six islands of the Dutch Caribbean have barred admission to travelers who are not legal residents of the respective island. Flights departing the respective islands to the United States are quickly being canceled and most airlines are reporting they will have no flights after Sunday, March 22.
Many travelers worldwide have reported unexpected flight cancellations and limited flight availability. If your travel has been disrupted, please contact your airline.
