The Bermuda government has been very pro-active throughout the current pandemic and has used a strict COVID-19 testing program for those arriving from abroad to help keep the virus out of Bermuda and minimize its spread. Bermuda is recognized as one of the most successful countries globally in managing the pandemic, via effective per-capita testing, diligent contract tracing, immigration and community health protocols. The island has earned the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) "Safe Travels" stamp for its achievement of top global health standards. As Bermuda Tourism Authority's interim CEO, Glenn Jones, put it "This is excellent news for Bermuda tourism, especially for American travelers looking to escape to someplace close and return home safely".

Bermuda has sufficient testing capacity to meet the CDC's COVID-19 testing requirements for visitors leaving the island to go to the United States, Canada and the UK. The island's Ministry of Health has confirmed that its testing system provides easy access to PCR COVID-19 tests, including results within the 72 hour turnaround time American officials require.
As the world adjusts to the new norm of enhanced health & safety protocols, the continued safety of guests and staff members remains a top priority of the resort's management team. Pompano's current guidelines have been implemented in conjunction with Bermuda's Ministry of Health and the Bermuda Hotel Association.
UPON ARRIVAL AT THE RESORT:
Those guests who've received their two vaccination shots (from either Pfizer or Moderna) or one vaccination shot from Johnson & Johnson, are permitted to move throughout the island as soon as they receive their negative test result from their arrival day test at Bermuda's airport (typically within 6 to 12 hours).
Face masks are required to be worn inside the resort's main clubhouse building. Anti-bacterial hand sanitizer is available throughout the main clubhouse. Pompano's staff has received training in effective hygiene habits as well as the resort's COVID-19 health & safety protocols. All of the resort's public areas receive cleaning on a regular basis, which includes frequent wiping and disinfecting of touch points like railings, surface tops, door knobs, light switches, etc.
GUEST ROOM CLEANLINESS:
Even though the resort has always had a robust cleaning program in place, they have implemented additional systems to protect their guests and employees. All guest rooms are cleaned according to government standards. Guests have the option of daily, weekly or no service from the resort's Housekeeping department, depending on their own preferences. Evening turndown service has been suspended in order to minimize points of contact.
FOOD & BEVERAGE PROTOCOLS:
Guests are required to wear face masks until they are seated at their table. They are also required to wear masks whenever they get up from their table to move around.
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES PROTOCOLS:
Guests are not required to wear masks when outdoors at the pool or beach areas. For everyone's safety, guests are encouraged to use extra diligence when wiping down game room equipment before and after each use. Guests using the resort's shuttle vans for complimentary rides to/from the nearby bus & ferry stops, grocery store or Port Royal Golf Course are required to wear face masks.
SUMMARY:
The resort updates their health & safety protocols on an on-going basis, whenever any changes or modifications are announced by the Bermuda government. All of the protocols are designed to help keep everyone healthy and COVID-free!
