Health Protection Agency (HPA) has changed their guidelines allowing people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can travel from island where COVID-19 positivity rate is below five percent, without quarantine.

In a press conference held by the President's Office, their Spokesperson Mabrook Azeez announced that as per the new guidelines, people that had completed both COVID-19 doses can travel without needing to quarantine if two pre-conditions are met; that is if 14 days have passed since they received their second dose of the vaccine, and they present a PCR negative result. This is only applicable to islands that are not under monitoring due to existing COVID-19 cases.
