Why can’t I find the Grenada tracing App that is required???
Grenada tourism go fall flat
Ok now these steps are good and all.
Now here’s the problem quarantine for 14 days (not everyone would be able to do so).
Not only do people have to pay for the accommodations at the hotel (hotels ain’t cheap for unless there are any specials or discounts) but also have to pay $150 for a test that the country is requiring you to take, ok.
Then the air fare is about roughly $600 for about two weeks and for a month or two it’s like $400+ (tax included).
All in all the steps taken are great but yeah since the island solely depends on tourism for income… it’s going to be a bit slow for a while.
I only have two questions.
Where do I find the health declaration forms?
As I went through the entire link and I haven’t found it.
Also where do I down load the tracking app?
you can find it on the Maurice Bishop airport website for the form
So what if you own a house in Grenada. Does this mean I have to pay money to the hotel companies ( not Grenadian owned). I have a entire house with no one in it. Wow I hope the airlines lower the price for tickets because Grenada just got more expensive. Also why does everything have to be in US dollars. I am coming from Canada.
U stated visitors from a red zone will be quarantine in a state approved facility for 2 to 4 days with negative pcr’s. Then u also said they will have to quarantine for 14 days in a state approved facility pending the same results. Im just trying to make sense of the miss information. Also why is the second pcr test $150 US if the test is being done in Grenada.?
Grenada government vision is $$$…. I am ashamed of Grenadian leaders, because the leaders simply mimic the foreign policies. Grenada think of the people’s who are trying to get back home. where is that quarantine facility. Why Grenada always crying for money. There are many ways to boost the economy in the island, but the government always looking toward the poor folks. No man is in charge but God. Remember that!!!! Stat thinking for self, at the end of the day. They will not come to your rescue. look at the medical system in grenada zero ratings. thanks to the staff pleasant smiles keep the patient going. Giving diabetes patients milo for breakfast rice for lunch. Dam that wake up people. No one in grenada should be suffering with this so call diabetes.
Just a gew questions.
How do i find the list of approved accomodation, what does limited movement mean for medium risk countries, what is deemed as certified proof of a test with 7 days.
It’s good that there are protocol in place but it also look like they’re trying to capitalize on COVID by enforcing all the expensive on visitors. Imagine having to pay for your own testing…come on. So if and individual test negative in the US and trst negative in Grenada and have an underlying condition, do you still have to quarantine for 14 days?
Very proud of you Grenada. These steps are strict but the health of the nation is far more important. Will there be a flat rate for accommodation and meals if quarantined? Do we know what hotels will be used as there are huge price differences
