Edit: UPDATE: while the above was true a few days ago, from other first-hand reports since then it looks like Antigua has formalized the procedures by today due to locals complaining about tourists bringing virus, and now you get escorted to your resort and cannot leave the resort (military guarding the exits, enforcement ymmv). You may be allowed to go to the beach in front of the resort but not explore around the island.
Are you required to quarantine at the hotel for the duration of your stay or until the test result comes in? (obviously, a negative test result may not mean in all cases that the traveler wasn’t just infected a day or so ago... or on the plane).

I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to facebook private travel groups or non-public figure instagrams, but there is a first-hand account of an american visiting Antigua (american airlines flight from Miami) - there's airport testing on arrival, but after that you can pretty much go out and about the island as you wish (markets and beaches are open during daylight), they'll contact you after 2-3 days with test results.

Looks like Germany is planning to extend its travel warning for non-EU countries until Aug 31.
https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-he...-idUKKBN23G2MZ
I wonder what that will mean for the lifting of entry bans for most non-EU travelers and the mandatory 14 day quarantine for those arriving from non-EU countries. It would seem difficult to sell a strict travel warning to Germans when travelers from those same countries would be welcomed with open arms.

In general I've found facebook to be the best and latest source of any recent government restrictions - e.g. just reading the comments on the latest posts of "Government of Samoa" / "Government of Fiji" / "Alaska Governor" facebook page will give a good idea of what the restrictions are etc.

Wasn't it just days ago that the EU Commission was advocating opening of external borders as of early July? Can't these people coordinate anything?!

Nonsense. There is an evolving virus-situation (in Europe and in the rest of the world), and politicians need to be careful. So they don’t want to announce measures too long in advance and travelers should just wait until things become clearer before they book trips. There is no god-given right to visit other countries, let alone other continents.

The anti-virus measures are not the EU competency. That’s why you see such difference in measures between for instance Spain and Sweden.
Just don’t book any trips until the virus situation and the related travel measures are totally clear. I personally wouldn’t book any intercontinental travel for the year 2020.

If it were a mere warning... The other Reuters piece (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...-idUSKBN23G2NZ) suggests that "Germany plans to extend a travel ban for non-European countries until Aug. 31."
”The German cabinet is expected to approve the step at its regular meeting on Wednesday, the sources said, adding the blanket travel warning for third countries could be removed earlier for some countries with low infection rates.”
And German news sources also talk about “warning” for German travelers.

This government website https://www.visitportugal.com/en/node/421189 says pax arriving from Portuguese speaking countries, including USA/CAN, can enter Portugal provided that reciprocity of treatment in these countries is ensure for Portuguese citizens. It is not.
I suspect Portugal is allowing Americans in but it is being ambiguous because it contradicts EU directives, but we need more data.

It does not. IATA merely says flights from the US are allowed. Does not discuss who can enter. If that isn't ambiguous, I don't know what is.

The USA doesn’t currently allow Portuguese tourists in, so there is no reciprocity, so US citizens are not allowed into Portugal just for tourism.
