The New York Times (Aug 31) reviewed COVID test data compiled by officials in New York, Massachusetts and Nevada and determined that up to 90% 0f those testing positive with no symptoms carried no virus or such a small amount to be of no danger whatsoever.. Time to stop using the sledgehammer to kill tourism and this economy before its too late!
The maximum 5 day rule for a CVID test is stopping most Canadian visitors from coming. Government testing in Canada is not capable of meeting demand. Make it 1o days or even 8 days and things will get a lot better.
As another Canadian and also Bahamas property owner, I am 100% in agreement with Alan Malcolm's letter. Because of the obstacles that the government has seen fit to apply to visitors I may be forced to end my 34 year annual return............ unless theses obstacles are lowered. Until that time, may God save the Bahamas economy.
Ministry of Environment should publish maps showing the location of approved mooring locations for cruise ships. That is responsible action...long overdue.
