The measures put in place to fight against the spread of the coronavirus are hardening in Martinique.
From Monday, travelers from all origins wishing to enter the territory will have to undergo a seven-day isolation, in addition to a negative PCR test for Covid-19, announced the prefect on Saturday, Stanislas Cazelles.
Home isolation
Travelers will have to "stay at home for 7 days, reduce outings to the strict minimum (food shopping, medical appointments), carry out a test 7 days after arrival in the territory", according to a press release from the prefect.
It is above all a question of "avoiding the introduction of the" English variant "by a traveler who would be carrying the virus but who would not have been tested positively on departure".
Only travelers coming from Guadeloupe or going there from Martinique will not have to follow these new measures.
On the other hand, given the worsening health situation in Guyana, the press release states that "air flows with Guyana will be restricted".
More than 100,000 travelers had traveled to Martinique for the end of 2020 holidays.
