Puerto Rico to fine travelers $300 without negative PCR COVID-19 test
Fox News
Travelers arriving in Puerto Rico without proof of a negative COVID-19 test could face a $300 charge.
Rapid tests will not be permitted as proof of a negative COVID-19 tests and the new mandate will be required to all travelers, even those who have been fully vaccinated against the virus, according to the new guidelines. Travelers visiting the Island of Enchantment must upload the negative PCR test result to the "Travel Safe" platform online. Anyone with a positive test result must quarantine and get medical attention. The new regulation comes after Puerto Rico put a curfew in place daily between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. to curb the spread of the virus. All businesses shut down promptly at 10 p.m. and getting into Old San Juan is guarded by law enforcement at a checkpoint where tourists and residents are only permitted past the curfew. Travelers looking for late-night food and drinks are also out of luck – restaurants and common areas inside hotels are closed.
