The Falkland Islands government confirmed it has had contact with the United Kingdom concerning the pandemic.[4] The government on the islands advised tourists and foreigners to leave the archipelago as it cannot guarantee further flights leaving the islands, whilst cruise ships reaching the Falklands would only be allowed to dock if passengers had been on board for at least 10 days and if none were suffering from symptoms of COVID-19. Travel between the islands of the Falklands is heavily restricted. Social distancing measures are in place.
