BASSETERRE (Friday 16th October 2020) — A Welcome Centre being constructed on the tarmac outside the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport arrivals hall will use temperature screening devices to check passengers before they are allowed to proceed to immigration. Passengers with high temperature readings will be taken to the adjacent medical centre. The VIP Lounge is being converted into a medical area. Access to the airport from Sunday 18th October will be restricted to persons with documented business at the airport, airport staff on schedule, and passengers with travel documentation. Only NEOC and SKTA-approved taxis and tour buses will be allowed on the compound in limited quantities, and all must wear face masks.
