So, if they come to Bahamas and then to USA, they cannot leave to go to or back to usa as they have to be fully vacineated?

The mandate does not apply to US citizens or permanent residents.

This the same people while in opposition said the gov was putting Bahamians at risk by not requiring foreigners be vaccinated. Now that they are the gov all is well with the health visa. Like they say "the more things change the more they remain the same"

> TOURISM, Investments and Aviation Minister Chester Cooper says the government is currently not considering making COVID-19 vaccinations a requirement for foreigners seeking entry to The Bahamas, noting current travel protocols are working just fine.

Our policy with respect to air arrival tourists visiting and residents returning to the Bahamas sensibly recognises the rapidly waning efficacy of the Wuhan virus vaccinations.

On the other hand, the current US policy requiring all foreigners travelling to the US by air be vaccinated to gain entry into the US is simply more 'out to lunch' nonsense by the very sinister and evil forces that now fully control the 'Biden in name only' presidency.

The current US policy for air arrivals is discriminatory on many fronts, the main one being nationality. Only non-US citizens and not US citizens will need to show proof of vaccination to gain entry to the US by air travel. And the vaccination requirement does not seem to apply to travellers seeking to gain entry to the US by land or sea.

And yet they are basically mandating that you need to be vaccinated for Bahamians. All the new health law talks about is you must be vaccinated to do anything.

> Currently, all people, including children aged two and older, are required to present a travel health visa and produce a negative PCR test no older than five days prior to travel to The Bahamas.

The Davis administration should immediately do away with all manadatory PCR testing requirements for children under age 12. It's frankly cruel and inhumane to subject young asymptomatic children, who are known not to pose any significant spreader risk, to these types of most uncomfortable, painful and frightening tests.

... agreed!

Yup it is only on air travel by sea there are no restrictions.

**Let me be frank,** it doesn't change a damn thing whether it's a Dionisio D'aguilar or Chester Cooper in charge of The Colony's tourism portfolio, **youse is to be popoulaces challenged** for inviting unvaccinated persons to be mixing amongst the popoulaces.
Comrade Minister, youse **is knowingly** risking the very health of a popoulaces and everything else like this and that by youse making **political decisions** over best health interest, **something your government said it would never play politics with the popoulaces health,** as youse accused the previous government of, ― Yes?

The longer you ignore the fire (Covid) the more the damage .... the only hope for tourism's rebound is to irradicate the virus and that requires all to be vaccinated. I will not return to the Bahamas until that happens at a much higher level. I don't mingle with infected and potentially infected peoples. That could have deadly consequences

So right are you, Comrade Quava, the very second youse post mentioned, **fire,** I thought if youse do you know who's listening-in on that kinds conversation, **its Satan?** ― He's always looking for a way of dragging honest-hearted, meaning to do good people, away from they's upbringing, ― Don't you think, ― Yes?

I suspect you also don't mingle with too many black people. LOL

You suspect incorrectly. I mingle with smart vaccinated black people hourly. Just not the internet ignorant who defy science. Please people, get your vaccine and mask up. Haven't we all seen too many die from this virus.

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.......

You sound like fouchee, the puppy beagle slayer.

But Vaccinated spread it to? Also i take it you sit at home all day on your own, as anyone is potentially infected. What a boring life you must lead.

Call it what you like .... I still lead a life as oppose to the millions who have died from covid.

Some of us appreciate the significance of the well known statement:

"Give me liberty, or give me death!"

You obviously don't.

It is not that bad. Tribanon and I deaded and we can still post from heaven.

it can't be eradicated, it becomes/is becoming endemic, like every other coronavirus before. the rest of your comment makes no sense...yes vaccinate, but that doesn't prevent infection or spreading. it limits the likelihood of serious disease.

politics is a stiking , flithy game. The PLP criticized the FNM for letting tourists come in unvaccinated , now they are doing the same thing. It is a waste of time voting for these PLP and FNM politicians.

I hope you're not just learning that now!

but if you have a negative test then what's the issue?
