Grenada COVID-19 Entry Guidelines. Last Updated: January 14, 2021
On July 15th 2020, Grenada’s borders reopened for commercial air travel. In an effort to minimize the potential spread of the novel coronavirus in the country, the Ministry of Health developed an air travel protocol with specific Grenada COVID-19 entry guidelines.
If you are planning any travel to Grenada within the coming months, please read the Grenada Air Travel Protocol carefully. It’s a detailed document, so I’ve put together a summary aka the quick version.
Grenada COVID-19 Entry Guidelines: The Quick Version
Before Boarding Your Flight To Grenada
Pure Safe Travel Certificate
All travellers to Grenada must first apply for the Pure Safe Travel Certificate. This is a health clearance authorization that allows the applicant to travel to Grenada. You will be required to present a printed or electronic copy of the authorization before boarding your flight to Grenada. Apply for the Pure Safe Travel Certificate here.
Negative PCR Test Result
All arriving passengers must show proof of a negative PCR test result from a test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival in Grenada.

All travellers to Grenada must have a confirmed reservation (minimum 7 days) at one of the Pure Safe accommodation locations or confirmation of an accepted home quarantine application. Home quarantine applications must be submitted at least 7 days prior to travel to Grenada.
COVID-19 Test Fee
Effective January 1 2021, all arriving passengers will pay a one-time $150 USD ($410 XCD) fee that will cover the required day 5 COVID-19 PCR test. This can be paid online prior to arrival or at the Maurice Bishop International Airport on arrival.
Download Contact Tracing App
Ronatrac Mobile App is the platform used by the Government of Grenada to facilitate self health monitoring. It is currently only available for Android devices.

All arriving passengers (visitors and residents) are required to cover any related travel and quarantine expenses. Non-nationals must have travel insurance covering COVID-19 related illness or declare that they will cover the cost of treatment and isolation.
Grenada COVID-19 Entry Guidelines: Arrival in Grenada
Upon arrival in Grenada, all travellers will undergo a health screening (symptom review, temperature check and, if necessary, testing). Once cleared by health screeners and immigration officials, all arriving passengers will be transported to their Pure Safe accommodation or approved home quarantine via designated taxi.
Quarantine Requirements
All arriving passengers will be required to spend a minimum of seven (7) days in quarantine at your approved location. On or after the fifth (5th) day in quarantine, you will take a PCR test and remain in quarantine while awaiting the results. If the test returns a negative result, then you will be granted permission, via communication from the health officials, to exit quarantine. Read more about the quarantine policy here.
