Ralph Higgs, minister of tourism for the Turks & Caicos Islands, announced an update to travel requirements to the destination as a part of TCI Assured, a quality assurance pre-travel program and portal, which will be live as of July 15 in advance of the reopening of borders on July 22, 2020 on the Turk and Caicos Islands Tourist Board website. In consideration of testing availability across the country, the Turks & Caicos is now requiring a negative COVID-19 PCR test result from a test taken within five days of travel, rather than the previous requirement of a test to be taken within three days of travel.
