Hi. With the recent CDC mandate that international travelers (including returning U.S. citizens) entering the U.S. on flights have a negative COVID-19 test prior to boarding the flight, there've threads on dive destination responses, particularly Cozumel and Bonaire.
Roatan (e.g.: CocoView Resort, Anthony's Key Resort, Turquoise Bay Resort), Utila and Guanaja don't seem represented yet. So I did a little online checking... Please add content as more info. becomes available.
Anthony's Key Resort page:
United States Covid-19 Testing Entry Requirements
From that page as of Jan. 18th, 2021:
"COVID-19 Testing is Available Onsite at Anthony’s Key Resort
The Hyperbaric Chamber and Cornerstone Medical Center are conveniently located on the property of Anthony’s Key Resort. Refer to the letter V on the resort’s property map here.
What happens if I test positive?
The CDC states that you should self-isolate and delay travel if symptoms develop or a pre-departure test result is positive until you have recovered from COVID-19. Airlines must refuse to board anyone who does not provide a negative test result for COVID-19 or documentation of recovery. We are prepared to assist guests with accommodations (that we have on reserve) should the need arise.
Can I get the test done at Cornerstone Medical Center if I’m not a guest at Anthony’s Key Resort?
Yes, the clinic does Covid-19 testing regularly for the general public. Non-resort guests may book an appointment here."
I don't presently see testing options noted on the websites for CocoView Resort or Turquoise Bay Resort.
I don't know which op.s are popular in Utila; I don't presently see testing options noted on the website at Utila Dive Center, Utila Lodge Island Dive Resort or Alton's Dive Center. It's my understanding there aren't direct flights from Utila to the U.S., but unless you're planning a really long layover...
The Villa at Dunbar Rock in Guanaja has a page on Honduras entry requirements, and now it was content on requirements for re-entering the U.S. From that page:
"Testing Requirements for Reentry to the United States
The team at Villa on Dunbar Rock is fully prepared and capable of performing COVID testing in accordance with the newly released CDC requirements that require guests to have a negative COVID test prior to reentry into the United States.
The tests are readily available on the island. Our staff has continued to be tested weekly.
We are now prepared to administer both the Antigen and PCR tests prior to the guest's departure. Guests will be charged $15 for the test, which is being passed along at our cost."
Sounds good! What I don't see is what happens if you test positive...
Cabanas on Clark's Cay has a popup with link to a page almost exactly like Dunbar Rock's, except it says:
"Testing Requirements for Reentry to the United States

I anticipate we'll see testing info. on CocoView Resort and Turquoise Bay Resort's websites soon, and looks like you can make an appointment to get tested at Anthony's Key Resort on Roatan, if need be.
