Guyana to reopen borders
Guyana will
reopen its borders on October 12, months after restricting international travel
to the country.
Like several
other Caribbean countries, Guyana closed its border in March when the COVID-19
pandemic started to show its face in the Caribbean.
However, the
country will reopen its two airports to international traffic in October.
It must be
noted that although the borders had been closed for months, some Guyanese
living overseas were allowed to return home on special flights as part of the
repatriation programme.
Meanwhile, Guyana’s
curfew orders will remain in place until the end of October. The curfew runs
from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. daily, and there are special provisions in place for Regions
One, Seven, and Nine.
