Just wondering - are the roads open yet or are they still on restricted travel? And wondering if there's any word on the reopening of Dutch side beaches for swimming.
Respectfully,

Here on the Dutch side we are awaiting word from the PM this weekend as to any changes in the lockdown. She has alluded to a plan, but no details yet.

Good news, I guess, but not sure how that will work. Can people sit in a chair on the beach now?

Not sure on French side. I know the Dutch PM said when she does open the beaches you can walk and swim. No sitting, keep moving.

Here's the French beach rules.
Daniel Gibbs May 7 at 9:10 PM · ⚠️ D OF SWIMMING FROM MAY 8
As we announced last Monday in our weekly COM point, the beach walk and sea swim will be allowed again on the beaches of Saint Martin, starting Friday, May 08, 2020.
Apart from my skills, as President of the territorial community, I took a territorial decree, this Thursday, May 07, lifting the ban on swimming and beach access. This ban was taken as a security measure in March, at the beginning of the lockdown.
For example, residents are allowed, from Friday, May 08, to access the beaches for the practice of individual sports (walking - running) and to take a sea bath.
This order also states that bbq and beach meetings remain forbidden until further notice.
We rely on everyone's responsibility and ask the people to carefully respect these instructions in order to work towards the sustainability of this decree. The territorial police will carry out surveillance patrols. Law enforcement will be responsible for the enforcement of this order and, if necessary, verbalize the criminals.
