The tourism policy that has been announced (and is very reasonable) requires visitors to St. Barts to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72-hours of arrival. From all of the research I've done in my region (Washington DC Metro area), it looks like the average turnaround time on tests is "two to five days."
While St. Barts is promising that test results will be ready within no more than 24-hours, and in many cases just a few hours, the obvious goal for both visitors and the island itself would be for us to all arrive with a negative test in hand.
Does anyone know of any major providers offering testing that delivers results guaranteed in one to two days at most in the US? I've checked through my concierge practice (One Medical), random urgent care clinics, etc. and all of them are stating that testing turnaround is up to five days -- which doesn't do much good here if the results arrive after you're already in St. Barts.
Hoping others may have already found solutions to this!
