Flight postponed after Samoa issues new travel advice

Apia: Flights from Samoa to American Samoa to bring skilled and technical workers into the territory have been put on hold.

They were meant to start yesterday however a last minute change in travel advice from Samoa postponed the plans.

The Samoa government now required travellers from American Samoa to have a negative COVID-19 test three days before arrival at Faleolo airport. Up until now travellers from the territory were exempt from that requirement based on the fact the territory was COVID-19 free.
