The Bahamas is barring American tourists and most other international visitors because of a surge in COVID-19 cases, the country’s prime minister announced July 19.

The country’s airline, Bahamasair, halted all flights to the United States, effective immediately, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said in an address to the nation. Other outgoing commercial flights are being allowed to facilitate the departure of tourists.
