only if vaccinated IN USVI. All other require a 5-day test for domestic arrivals or international ferry arrivals. 1-day test for international air arrivals.

I meant verses the US. I did not think about people coming from the BVI. Still seems like a blatant discrimination. Wish I had gotten vaxed down there. Actually could have done that. Where you got the shot seems like it should be irrelevant to travel restrictions.

Us news misread the official change. My mistake. Rely on official government statement always

My take on this was it was an incentive for USVIslanders to get vaccinated. They were given preferential treatment when traveling back and forth.

I was joking about the better vaccine. Trying to understand the reasoning behind the USVI exemption.
