Travelers who test negative will be fitted with an armband for monitoring and released to complete the 14 day quarantine at home, while those found to be positive will be isolated in state facilities until recovered. Travelers can be picked up from the quarantine facility once quarantine is completed. All travelers arriving in Jamaica will be subject to the following quarantine requirements: Category 1: Jamaican nationals and non-nationals ordinarily resident in Jamaica - may be subject to testing if assessed as high-risk and are required to remain in quarantine at home for 14 days from their date of entry to Jamaica.
