Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness has announced that travellers who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will now be required to quarantine for eight days down from 14 days.
Two doses of the AstraZeneca or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine are required for one to be considered fully vaccinated.
Persons who have received only a single dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine will still be required to undergo the 14-day vaccine.
Only a single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is required for one to be considered fully vaccinated.
The prime minister said that all travellers will be required to present a negative COVID-19 test result upon arrival at the ports to be allowed boarding.
The test should be no older than three days.
