The United States (US) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised against travel to Guyana, stating that even fully vaccinated travellers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.
The CDC, in a travel notice updated on September 20, placed Guyana on the highest COVID-19 travel health notice level, that is, Level Four. This means the CDC believes that travel to the country should be avoided due to the current surge in COVID-19 infections
Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh has admitted that the
majority of people who have so far refused to become vaccinated
against the COVID-19 virus, are from the Christian faith.
