Thinking of going to Haiti for carnival? You will now need a negative COVID-19 test Jacqueline Charles, Miami Herald © CHANDAN KHANNA/AFP/TNS Haitian dancers dance during rehearsals for the upcoming 2020 National Carnival Parade in Port-au-Prince, on Feb. 13, 2020. After nearly a year of allowing travelers to visit without proof of a negative COVID-19 test, Haiti is now joining the growing list of countries in the region asking visitors and tourists to be virus-free in order to visit. Haiti s Ministry of Health announced Tuesday that as of Feb. 9, all travelers will be required to show a negative RT-PCR laboratory COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours before boarding. The requirement takes effect just days before the country s Carnival celebration.
