    Paradise Island Open To Tourists But Only If You've Had Covid 19

    31 august 2020

    Have you had Covid-19 and fancy a holiday? Then this could just be the thing you've been waiting for as the picturesque island of Fernando de Noronha is back open for business.

    From this week the popular tourist destination in Brazil is open to visitors, but only if you've already had coronavirus.

    In order to be eligible to go and visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, tourists have to prove that they have been infected with the disease and recovered fully from it.

    They will have to submit one of two types of tests - PCR virus tests or IgG antibody tests - which has to be taken at least 20 days before arriving on the island.

    The island has around 3,500 permanent residents and was closed to outsiders on 21 March.

    Those residents who left for the mainland were only allowed to return in June once community transmission had been eradicated.
