I am at home and can't see it because of bandwidth issues. Did she talk about reopening the AIRPORT by June?

Covid-19 Update - St. Maarten PM: 'I see us reopening up St. Maarten in June' "In my vision, I see us reopening up St. Maarten in June. That gives us time between now and the end of May to reach our peak and go back down. That gives us time to slowly but surely open up essential services. If after this week we are able to see the cases start to go down, the quicker we are able to open up more essential services." - Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs, in live broadcast on Easter Monday. The two-week state of emergency (total lock down) is slated to end on Sunday, April 19. However, by Friday, April 17, government will be able to ascertain the length of time still needed to conduct further tests in the community based on the results of the medical and community outreach checks and testing. The community outreach is set to start tomorrow, Tuesday, in Sucker Garden. (Source: Govt. of St. Maarten)

OK, not much real information there, but she said 'open up essential services'. To me, 'essential services' is much different than 'reopening SXM to visitors', which is what I thought she meant. Also, I'm kind of confused about how the total lock down is slated to end on Sunday, but they are re-opening the grocery stores tomorrow.

You know I'm coming now to another way of thinking. A lot of us are in the same age group and anything can happen everyday left on this earth so why deny ourselves the pleasure. No good in the Bank or anywhere else these days. I do though think June is a little early, however July and November/Dec if prices are correct or even if they aren't but within reason, I will go FC(to avoid crowds) along with a bunch of wipes, small bottle sprays, masks(*a big stick to swipe people with) and just try and be sensible where ever we go. Had a trip planned to London for a month in early June, that does seem way to early being a big city. Just have to take extra precautions in hotels, no handshakes with anyone and I have a feeling that we are going to see many more people wearing masks in the next few months. Rotting away here at home, getting fat, (way too old before my time) and its got be coming soon to parteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Cautiously, but with drinks in hand, beach in background, fly me baby!
