Bahamas closes borders to U.S. tourists after COVID-19 cases spike; others still welcome
BY JACQUELINE CHARLES

quote:

Less than three weeks after reopening its borders to international visitors, the Bahamas on Sunday announced that it is closing all of its airports and seaports to tourists from the United States, effective Wednesday.

Bahamasair, the country’s national carrier, will cease all outgoing flights to the United States immediately, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said in a national address Sunday.

Outgoing commercial flights will still be permitted to accommodate visitors scheduled to leave the Bahamas after Wednesday, he said. Visitors from Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union will still be permitted to visit as long as they can show proof of a negative COVID-19 RT PCR test from an accredited laboratory taken within 10 days of their arrival. Also allowed under the new order: private international flights and charters and pleasure crafts.

Time to break out my Canadian passport and head to Nassau. No obnoxious Americans to put up with.

Try Cuba and then you won't have to put up obnoxious Americans and PO'd Bahamians either.

We should tell those flickers to leave it closed permanently and that ours will remain closed to their people.

Do they still have the travel warning about going to the United States because of the possibility of running into racist cops or has that been removed?

Some of you have never been to Exuma. That will change your mind on this.

They are a sovereign country, they can do what they want.

Bizarre melt in this thread about a country making its own decisions. If it “doesn’t matter” to you that much, just find another place to vacation.

Let another Dorian spark up and half the Bahamas end up in Florida. They may not want us, but they will damn sure beg for our money.

Who is going to buy their shitty street weed and gamble at their shitty casinos if not for Americans looking for a day cruise?

Sounds like a solid decision if you want to send the Bahamas from the current 1950s to the 1850s

You could say the exact same thing about Louisiana.
