Air Passengers Traveling from China Will Not be Permitted Entry
Quoting the Solomon Times on Line – 12 February 2020
“The Solomon Islands Department of Immigration (DOI) has issued new directives that "all air passengers who have traveled from or transited through China 14 days before arriving in the Solomon Islands will not be permitted entry."
“The ruling also extends to passengers from affected countries traveling via Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, and Papua New Guinea.
“Flights from Brisbane to Honiara, currently considered low risk, are not included in the directive.
“However, all passengers originating from Australia are still subject to strict assessment by local medical authorities on arrival at Honiara International Airport.
“In a further development, the Solomon Islands Customs & Excise Division (SICED) has announced all international vessels arriving in the Port of Honiara will, with immediate effect, require health and quarantine clearance before being allowed to berth.
“This ruling extends to cruise vessels which will be permitted entry on a case by case basis.”
