Cayman’s borders to reopen in September

Deputy Premier and Tourism Minister Moses Kirkconnell on Friday announced Cayman’s borders will reopen to international travel starting on 1 Sept. The reopening will come in phases.

“The prospect of reopening is a subject of concern to many in our communities,” said Kirkconnell at government’s COVID-19 press briefing, adding that government has noted the COVID-19 situation in North America and beyond.

“We also recognise that keeping our borders closed indefinitely is not reasonable, sustainable and cannot continue from an economic standpoint.”

Here’s the first phase of reopening starting 1 Sept:

• Potential passengers must take a COVID-19 test 72 hours before departing. The result must come back negative.

• Approved passengers will arrive…
