If you're planning to travel to the islands of the Caribbean, here are some resources to help you plan your trip during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Each of them has its own rules, subject to frequent change. Some may allow only fully vaccinated visitors to enter. Others might ask for a pre-travel Covid test.

Here's a roundup of 10 popular Caribbean destinations with links that provide the latest information on Covid-19 measures and entry requirements:
