The wording is interesting and it’s a definite change on the high country requirements. They’re now saying that the second test happens 4-5 days after the first instead of 7 days after arrival.

If you take the test at T-72 then I guess you can get your second test on day2 and result on day3. Don’t think that’s enough to make it worth it for most people but if you had a good reason and booked an approved villa to stay in, at least it’s not a whole week.
I would assume that is not how they intend this to work - the language used says "4-5 days after first accepted negative result", and I would guess that acceptance is the key term here, i.e. the point at which they accept the fact you have a valid negative test result at the point you pass through arrival formalities in Barbados.

Oh well, looks like our planned week in Barbados probably won't work after all, back to the drawing board!
