Reply I agree; they need to specify from which countries travelers will have to "self Quarantine" Here is the definition from the above link: “Affected areas” are considered those countries, provinces, territories or cities experiencing ongoing transmission of COVID-19, in contrast to areas reporting only imported cases. Here is the daily situation report link that lists the countries, provinces etc and whether transmission is local or imported.... Table 2 https://www.who.int/docs/default-so...sitrep-51-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=1ba62e57_8So if the states blow up in case numbers and I am travelling through Washington from Ottawa what do I do? jeez!

Table 2 shows the United States as having "Local Transmission" cases which should imply any traveling thru or from the United States is subject to 14 quarantine. I would think they would need to get more specific but I don't know how they will handle it.

Awesome! Thank you. We are leaving for a 9 day charter form Minnesota on Tuesday and this is very helpful.

Just got here(Tortola) yesterday. Thought the REQUIRED hand sanitizer before walking into customs building was a nice touch. Not to make fun of those affect but I wouldn't mind if the US canceled my flights back for a couple weeks. No word of any cases on the island but I expect it's coming, seems like the worst places to be though are airports. Traveling with sanitizer and washing a lot and hopeing for the best.

I agree on not the worst place to be stuck, and think a boat by ourselves is a great way to not catch the virus. I'd be more concerned about any panics or disruption to food, supplies, etc. on the island. I guess in a worst case scenario, St Thomas (or even Puerto Rico) are easily reachable by boat...

Has anyone talked to any charter companies on cancelling/postponing because of CV? We have a charter booked with Navigare for 3/19-26. I haven't contacted them yet but would hope they would consider CV and objective reason for cancellation.
As of now we have not cancelled anything, but will have to make a decision soon. I doubt your trip insurance company would deny a claim.

I'm booked with CYOA on May 2nd. They are letting us postpone and we will receive a voucher for the charter fee that's good for a year to rebook. Hoping it doesn't come to that.

Not sure what MAY means in this release. “on arrival in the British Virgin Islands, MAY be subject to medical or public health investigations"
We'll be coming from Colorado mid April (via Florida and San Juan). Colorado is on the High Risk list...

Looks like they removed the link from their website. Weird.
