French Polynesia, Caribbean Islands Closing Its Borders to All Tourists

French Polynesia first reopened to tourists in July, requiring proof of a negative test as well as a travel insurance policy. While tourism is now being cut off, the islands will still allow essential visits, including for health, work, or family purposes. Those who do come will have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test from within 72 hours of their departure and complete a self-test four days after arriving in the country.
