CDC upgrades Travel Health Notice for SVG to Level 1

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States on Monday, April 11 upgraded the Travel Health Notice for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) from Level 3 to Level 1.

Level 1 indicates that the COVID-19 risk of SVG is low, but travelers should make sure that they are fully vaccinated before travelling to the country.

The website of the CDC said, “Even if you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines, you may still be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19. Anyone 2 years or older should properly wear a well-fitting mask in indoor public spaces. Follow all requirements and recommendations in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.”

Monday’s notice is an improvement on the Level 3 Travel Health Notice issued on December 20, 2021, which meant that citizens of the US “reconsider travel” to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines due to COVID-19.

The Department of State updates its Travel Advisories to align with the travel health notices from the CDC as travelers face ongoing risks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 Update of the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment of April 11, 2022 said there are two active cases of COVID-19 in St Vincent and the Grenadines. One of these persons is hospitalized.
