Three insurers tasked on COVID visitor coverage
Absolutley astonishing that our government can't figure this out. They are like the Keystone Cops chasing their tail when the answer is right in front of them. So, let's see-let's change the 14 day quarantine for 3 covid tests and forced insurance on the visitors. Are you kidding me? So, now the visitor will pay for the tests with their health visa and the insurance. And, if they are lucky, they won't have a false positive and try to cancel their flights and hotel reservations. Do these government officials think tourists are a bunch of dummies? They have presented the facts previously that only 1% of the foreign tourists that came in on the first (probably of many) re-openings caused covid problems. The first part of the equation is that they are not going to be able to stop every single covid case. It exists in the US and in the Bahamas. Just like a cold and the flu (even though they are way less deadly) they have to be willing to accept some level of risk. And, if the tourist is at risk, they shouldn't come. The answer is simple. Go to a 5 or 7 day test for everyone that comes into the Bahamas. Tourists, we Bahamians-everyone. If we want to go to the states for a few days we have to get a test there to come back. Simple. Forget all this other bureaucratic stuff with fees, etc. Just get the test and a health visa, wear a mask and social distance. Probably too simple for our officials who are going to create a complex nightmare for any tourist. And, then they'll wonder why no one is coming.
