If you receive a positive result from a PCR test taken while in Seychelles, the Public Health Authority requires that you are isolated in your hotel/guesthouse, at your own cost, for a minimum of 7 days. This requirement applies regardless of your COVID-19 vaccination status. Any close contacts who might have been infected (eg. a travelling companion) may also be asked to undergo quarantine. During the isolation/quarantine period, guests may not change accommodation, except with the approval of the Public Health Authority. A repeat test is not required at the end of the period, unless required by your airline or next destination. At the end of this period, you will be issued with a certificate or letter of completion of isolation. A second test by a different laboratory immediately after the initial positive result does not invalidate the first result. Public Health Measures, including isolation, are required on the basis of the initial positive test.
