Residents and visitors to Cayman have long been waiting on a relaxation of visitation rules which, until recently, restricted some unvaccinated persons from landing in Cayman.  This has now changed, following announcements at a press briefing on August 19, 2022.

According to the government, as of Wednesday, August 24, 2022, the following rules will apply:  All travel restrictions will be removed; travel Declarations/Certificates will no longer be required for travelling to/from Cayman; proof of vaccination will no longer be required to enter the country; unvaccinated persons will no longer be required to quarantine; on restrictions on public gathering numbers; no restrictions on diving, snorkelling, boating etc., activities; mask wearing is still required for medical places, care homes and prisons; persons who test positive need to report to HSA and remain home for at least 7 days until they test negative; isolation period of 7 days is mandatory for Covid positives; PCR testing is required for persons who test positive – drive-through testing at HSA is available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays – from 8 am to 10 am.

Persons living with Covid positive persons should test daily for 7 days but are free to leave the house for school, work, etc., with negative LFT results. However, they must remain at home if they have symptoms.
