"Everyone travelling from overseas will be tested for Covid-19, before departure and then again on arrival in Trinidad," said the CPL in a statement.

"All members of the CPL party will be subject to regular temperature checks and will be re-tested for the virus throughout their stay in Trinidad and again before departure," it added.
