As shared by Deputy PM and Health Minister Chris Fearne this morning, the countries on this list need to present a negative test result before boarding that would have been done no more than 72 hours in advance of travelling. Those who do not present a certificate will be subject to a swab at MIA or asked to go into self-isolation upon arrival.

This amber travel list will be revised weekly, Deputy PM Fearne said, and random testing at the airport will also be carried out.
