An US olympic gymnast and women's basketball player, both vaccinated, just tested positive for COVID today which is making me nervous. Anyone know what would happen if a traveler trying to return from Belize to the USA tested positive? I assume quarantine, but where, and for how long?

Hello everyone, I just decided to take a dive trip to Placencia, Belize next month. This will be my first international dive trip in the COVID era. I have never gotten trip insurance in my life, but in these times I am definitely considering it. My normal health insurance will cover any...

Scooter961, thanks for the information! What website did you get your data from? Looks like Saint Croix has had about 1000 cases overall, which is about 2% of their population (50,000). I suppose some of those could be tourists though. I believe you need a negative COVID test to enter the...

Hello, The CDC website indicates that the US Virgin Islands has a "very high level of COVID-19" and that "travelers should avoid all travel to the US Virgin Islands". Is everyone believing this? I have not seen that COVID is running rampant in the USVI. I am wanting to schedule a dive trip...
