The August 1st requirements are not out yet but looking at the June 25 update I have the following question. The requirement reads "Passengers are required to take a COVID-19 PCR test with proof of negative results no older that 72 hours prior to day of travel."
My question is: is the 72 hours from the date of the test (swab taken) or the date of the results (date the results are returned)? My thought is that the 72 hours is from the results returned date. That is the only way to know a date to schedule a flight. I was trying to fly on July 7 before they changed the rules (again) and had a PCR test done. It had both the date of the test and the date of the results (3 working days later) on it.
Looking for others input. Don't have an email address to put this question to a member of SXM government. So hope they are considering this with the August guidelines and they will be much more clear.
