Up until Yesterday the stmaartenehas.com website showed test with the EUA statement were not accepted, so I don't buy the story that requirements were changed at the last minute or not clearly communicated. It's the failure of the travelers for not asking questions about what their RT-PCR test will say before they got them done. They should be lucky they only had to pay $125 for a retest, because that is a deal compared to what others are charging. My understanding, based on limited research, is that no tests have been approved in the US other than under the Emergency Use Authorization. Why SXM chose to exclude those tests is anyone's guess, but I speculate that they didn't really understand what its significance was. Now that they ave more knowledge, they've eliminated that exception. Again, just speculation on my part, but it seems to make sense.
