It was recently extended until September 15, to be reviewed then. I think they're still bound by what France decides? I was looking for confirmation of that date as it was what I thought as well for a revisit to the situation. Yes, they are bound by France unless something can be done to override their laws.

Yup, Sept 15 is the current date, which is next week. As to reopening the border, my feeling is that is related to this talk of requiring a second Covid test on island. My personal feeling is that the Dutch side will start requiring that, so that will be yet ANOTHER thing to make it more difficult for tourists to come. And then the border will reopen or not. My bet would be that the Prefet will still not reopen the border, so it will be for nothing...

No official word as yet, they don't usually announce until just before the end of the two week mandate. But rumor has it it will be extended to October 1.

If I had a test and came to the island negative....then if I get it, it's from there! Duh! Are they requiring everyone on the Dutch side who lives there to be tested twice? No. It is targeting a population that they want $$$ from IMO. IF the French border was open, that would be a good reason to stay over there....

It's now TD 20, but as you say, it is predicted to go north now, and be a fish storm.
