While many countries have shut their borders and are enforcing quarantine restrictions, the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda have continued to remain open for business and are keen to keep on welcoming tourists from the UK later this year, or early next year.
Antigua has managed to keep the number of COVID-19 cases on island down, with a total of 3 deaths and 124 cases to date. Health and safety are the top priorities for the islands which have introduced a number of strict protocols that must be adhered to by both residents and visitors alike.
