In a recent news article it was announced that Guam is offering COVID vaccination as a tourist attraction. To quote: \u201cThe packages are going to include the different vaccines, the hotel with the seven-day quarantine, secure transportation from the airport to their quarantine hotel of choice, two PCR tests… also will receive vaccination documents, including the secondary vaccination verification provided by Public Health.”<\/p>\n
In my opinion, Saipan has the capacity to offer the same COVID-19 vaccination travel package as Guam. We have the COVID-19 vaccine, we have the quarantine facilities at Kanoa and Mariana Resort. We have the COVID-19 testing here and we have the COVID-19 vaccination cards and associated documents available for issue.<\/p>\n
According to the news article, the Guam governor made a direct request to President Biden for more COVID-19 vaccines for use in the Guam COVID travel package. If Guam can make this request, Saipan can make this request as well.<\/p>\n
As everyone knows, the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance could end around Sept. 6. In my opinion, it is important to get the tourism economy restarted before the PUA runs out.<\/p>\n
