Taipei, July 17 (CNA) Short-stay travelers from Taiwan to Guam will no longer need to receive a COVID-19 test and self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival beginning July 24, the Taiwan representative of the Guam Visitors Bureau said Friday.

Guam issued the new quarantine protocol Friday ahead of easing restrictions to Pandemic Condition of Readiness 3 on July 20. The protocol will allow visitors from COVID-19 low-risk areas to stay in Guam for up to five days without a quarantine or testing required.

Taiwan will be listed among the low-risk areas, said Sandra Huang (黃芷筠), a public relations agent for the bureau in Taiwan, but it was not immediately clear what other countries will be on that list.

Guam had originally planned to reopen to Taiwanese, Japanese, and South Koreans on July 1 without a quarantine, but that was postponed in late June because of a spike in local cases.
