The former Miss England, 25, could be fined up to £18,000 and face a year in jail after she and her boyfriend Elliott Love, 30, were arrested by officials at Grantley Adams International Airport.
Miss Holland, who will appear in court on the Caribbean island on Wednesday, and her partner breached their quarantine conditions to remain at their Sugar Bay resort hotel when Mr Love tested positive for the virus on Tuesday.
The couple were initially placed in isolation at a specialist Covid-19 quarantine facility in northern Barbados but Miss Holland has since been released after testing negative for a second time for the virus and is now confined to her hotel room.
It comes as a petition calling for the the Love Island star and her partner to be jailed was reached more than 1,000 people on Change.org today.
The petition read: ‘They broke the law, but also broke the trust of the wonderfully open, kind and welcoming people of Barbados. They acted with a level of selfishness and entitlement that beggars belief.
‘They undermined the huge amount of work that had been done by the government and people of Barbados to suppress community transmission and the didn’t just risk the livelihoods of Bajans, they risked their lives.’This week the model issued an apology to the government and the people of Barbados after breaking quarantine.
In a statement the model claimed her decision to break Barbados’ strict coronavirus rules had been a ‘massive mix-up and misunderstanding’.
The statement, which was published by Barbados Today news website, said: ‘I firstly want to apologise to the entire country of Barbados for what has been a massive mix up and misunderstanding during my most recent stay.
‘I am currently working with the local authorities to rectify any issues on my part and will issue an update and full statement which I think is the only right thing to do to the Government and citizens of Barbados.
‘I have been a guest of this lovely island in excess of 20 years and would never do anything to jeopardise an entire nation that I have nothing but love and respect for and which has treated me as a family.’
Zara is out of quarantine. She is in a hotel.
The couple, who have been dating for four years, arrived here last Sunday aboard a Virgin Atlantic flight and were to be quarantining in a Christ Church hotel. Visitors have to be cleared after two mandatory tests, which usually take about three days.
It was reported that more than 800 people, mainly islanders, have signed a petition demanding the pair be thrown in jail.
