Executive Council have taken a decision that with effect from Monday, 8 August 2022, quarantine will no longer be a legal requirement on St Helena. All restrictions will be removed and people will be able to visit St Helena without needing to quarantine.
This decision to remove quarantine follows the announcement made in May 2022 to reduce quarantine from 10 days to seven as a part of a roadmap towards living with COVID-19 on St Helena.
The Health Services will predominantly manage many of the aspects regarding the movement toward living with COVID-19 (SARSCoV2). This includes advising the public on how to manage their own safety whilst going about their daily lives as the island moves into this phase. Below is a list of recent communication released by SHG surrounding SARSCoV2 including Chief Medical Officer bulletins and press releases.
