Falkland Islands Government
COVID-19: Information and Guidance
Following recent international media reports, the Falkland Islands Government can confirm that, despite the heightened Covid-19 response measures being introduced in the UK, travellers heading northbound from the Falkland Islands will NOT be required to undertake a PCR test prior to departure.
People will be aware that there is an unpleasant cold spreading quickly through Stanley. To date, all swabs taken from symptomatic people have returned negative results for COVID.
Welcome to December’s monthly Covid-19 update.
The KEMH would like to remind the public that if you require a Covid-19 swab to be undertaken prior to travel you must inform the KEMH 10 days before travel.
The Falkland Islands will see the arrival of its first expedition vessel as part of a scaled down summer tourist season on Thursday 25 November 2021.
KEMH is pleased to confirm the schedule for the next phase of its travelling vaccination programme for West Falkland and the Outer Islands.
Welcome to November’s monthly Covid-19 update.
KEMH is pleased to inform the public of the next stage in the Covid-19 vaccination programme. A third primary dose, this time of the Moderna vaccine, is being offered to people most at risk, such as those who have had organ transplants or who are on certain types of high dose immunosuppressant drugs.
Following the success of the initial Tourism Recovery Incentive Programme – or ‘TRIP’ – which was designed to support tourism-related businesses and stimulate economic growth across the Islands during 2020/21, the government is pleased to announce that the scheme will run again this year.
