WILLEMSTAD - The government decided yesterday evening that restrictions will be imposed immediately on travel to and from Aruba.
This is a result of the discovery of five infections on the island of the British variant of the coronavirus. This variant is more contagious than the variant that was already present on the islands. The government advises against anyone flying to Aruba, unless it is strictly necessary.
As of today, all passengers from Aruba must submit a negative PCR test when flying to Curaçao. Such a test can also be done after arrival in Curaçao if it was not possible to be tested in Aruba. That is valid for passengers who must travel before January 29 and who were not able to get tested before the flight.
If the test is done in Aruba, it cannot be older than 72 hours prior to traveling.
The government also wants to remind travellers to fill out the Passenger Locator Card via www.dicardcuracao.com before their flight to Curaçao.
