Barbados relaxes more Covid curbs

Monday, 17 Feb, 2022 0

Barbados has recently ended the 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. curfew as public health officials green light the easing of more Covid curbs.

There will now be no restriction of beach activity and parks, and Barbadians and visitors will again be allowed to enjoy these facilities.

Hiking will also be allowed in groups of 30 ipeople.

Pleasure craft and private boats, chartered for private cruises will move from 50 to 100 per cent of their authorised number of passengers. Proof of vaccination or testing will be required before boarding.

The six-feet rule for distancing will no longer apply, except where persons exercise together outdoors, without wearing a mask.

 In all other cases, the physical distance of at least three feet will apply.

 In addition to relaxed restrictions, visitors to the island can also attend several sporting and entertainment activities as Barbados reopens.

Some of the major upcoming events already announced for 2022 include the England vs. West Indies cricket tour in March; the World Surfing League QS3000 in April; the Annual Barbados Jazz Excursion and Golf Weekend in October; and a motorsports calendar of activities taking place at Bushy Park.

Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Sen. Lisa Cummins said "We are looking ahead with great optimism as we welcome the return of so many well-loved activities to our shores."

"Our tourism, entertainment, culture and sports sectors, among others, continue to drive demand for destination Barbados."
