Unvaccinated visitors must continue to adhere to the current entry requirements which needs a pre-travel PCR negative test and an additional rapid antigen test if stayig for five days or longer.
"This will greatly assist our economy and will also assist in reducing the number of infections," said Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert Minnis..
