Bahamas Ministry Of Tourism & Aviation Statement On Executive Order Amid Rising Covid-19 Cases

Bahamas will Reinstate Country-Wide Restrictions, Protocols to Prevent Further Spread of COVID-19 and Protect the Health, Safety of Bahamians, and Visitors

In a press conference this evening, Prime Minister, The Most Hon. Dr. Hubert Minnis, announced that, out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of residents and visitors, The Bahamas has reinstated on-island guidelines, protocols and preventative measures to help curb further spread of COVID-19.

An updated Emergency Order applies to the entire country of The Bahamas and includes weekend lockdowns and weekly curfews, beach closures, dining restrictions, prohibition of all congregate activity, and the discontinuation of inter-island travel.

Despite the negative impact of the government’s most recent travel restrictions on the hotel industry, the Bahamas Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA) stated it supports the measures, noting that it was “unavoidable”.
