With the Bahamas slated to reopen to international travel and tourism on July 1, the country has issued new health protocols for visitors. To protect the safety of travelers and residents alike amid the recent rise in coronavirus cases in the U.S., the Bahamian government has mandated that in addition to temperature screening on arrival, all visitors must present a Covid-19 RT-PCR negative swab test, with the results no more than 10 days old.
