Belize

Belize has removed all COVID-related travel restrictions, including evidence of vaccination, pre-departure testing, and mandatory health insurance. “With the emergence of weaker variants of COVID-19 and with the global trend of restrictions being relaxed, the time has come to take the pressure off of our health systems,” Belize Minister of Health and Wellness Kevin Bernard said. “We’ve reached a level where everyone’s personal responsibility is to decide whether they want to be vaccinated or not.”
