Effective immediately, the Port Authority, at the direction of the Ministry of Health, has designated ONLY the Grenada Yacht Club in St. Georges and Hillsborough, Carriacou, as ports of entry for yachts entering Grenada for the foreseeable future. This change is put in place in an effort to prevent individuals with symptoms of Influenza H1 N1 (swine flu) from entering Grenada and passing on the disease.
At the present time, there are NO REPORTED CASES of swine flu in Grenada.
Currently, passengers disembarking at Point Salines International Airport and the cruise ship facility at the Esplanade Mall are required to complete a health card which is reviewed by public health professionals prior to those passengers being allowed to leave the airport or cruise ship facility, Yachts clearing in, at this point, are NOT required to complete a similar health care, but that may change in the near future.
Questions should be directed to the Ministry of Health, phone 473-440-3485/4935/3177, fax 473-440-4127, or
