Covid-19 Update - St. Maarten
A total shutdown of the Dutch side is in the planning by government due to residents not adhering to the current movement restrictions.
The national decree for the shutdown has been prepared by government and is with the Governor for signature. The exact date of the shutdown will be determined by the Prime Minister.
Government has also established a mandatory quarantine/isolation location to stem the spread of the virus.The legal regulations to put people in mandatory quarantine/isolation has been prepared to make this possible.

Not if everyone keeps a cool head, wishful thinking. In any case, it will save lives. We have been warned, and too many were risking everyone's lives.
Glad Bill shopped two days ago.
Lesley and family, stay safe, be well.

I'm sure they must have some plans for that Lesley. Let's see what they have to say tomorrow. We're in the same boat as you and we were helping to feed two families in need. Won't be able to do that. We also feed and water the "Golf Course" dogs. Breaks my heart.

They have not closed the borders, yet. But you must have a valid reason for crossing (even for being on the road) and a document. Will probably change with the new updates. We'll see.
