Seychelles has among highest percentages of vaccinated populations in the world and should be considered a safe destination to visit. There are, however, certain precautions in place to keep the community and visitors safe: wearing a face mask is optional outdoors, but is still required indoors and in settings where social distancing cannot be safely practiced. The public is, however, still required to keep their masks on when using public buses and other public transportation such as taxis, boats, and planes.Regular hand sanitisation is encouraged at the entrance of most businesses, shops, banks, restaurants, etc. Visitors to Seychelles are only permitted to stay at approved establishments that have been certified by the Public Health Authority. These establishments have shown that they are implementing the necessary operational precautions and training to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Visitors may still participate in tours, excursions and activities such as diving, fishing, etc – provided they book with approved operators.

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 10 days. This requirement applies regardless of your COVID-19 vaccination status. If you do not experience any symptoms during this isolation period, you may expect to be released 10 days after your positive PCR test. Should you develop any symptoms consistent with COVID-19 illness during your isolation period, you will be required to isolate for 14 days. 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.
