THE LATEST UPDATE: STREAMED NATIONAL ADDRESS BY PRIME MINISTER
DR. HUBERT MINNIS. JULY 19, 2020. IS HERE
COVID-19 effectively closed air travel to the Bahamas and will resume JULY 1st. UNTIL FURTHURE NOTICE
COVID-19, AKA Coronavirus finds its way to the Bahamas early in the year. As you know, many Chinese have arrived in the Bahamas, mostly Nassau as a result of joint corporative economic efforts of both countries. This is not to say American travelers aiding in the Dorian rebuilding effort in Abaco couldn’t have contributed to the virus spread also.
The Bahamian government has confirmed multiple positive cases of COVID-19 in The Bahamas. As a result on March 24 the Office of the Prime Minister of The Bahamas announced a new Emergency Order includes closing all airports in The Bahamas to incoming international flights carrying visitors, and closing all seaports to international and regional seafaring and private boating.
Obviously this notice supersedes our Hurricane Dorian Recovery Page.
