For those US citizens with current travel plans to SXM, what if any, plans have you made for the unlikely event that you test positive and can't return to US? Where would you stay? How would you get needed provisions? What is estimated cost to do this? What if any benefits are available from the mandated insurance program?
I'm not looking for any speculation or opinions about traveling, just specific plans/info "just in case".
Isn't this part of the reason for the SXM government mandated insurance policy? SXM PROTECTION PLAN

JD, yes, that is what is supposed to happen with the insurance policy, it supposedly pays for quarantine accommodations.

We're planning another trip this December and we'll most likely buy additional trip insurance again even if the government policy is still required. $125 per day from the government policy doesn't go that far during the high season, and it's definitely not enough if the people you're traveling with aren't covered unless they also test positive.
I certainly hope that by December herd immunity will be a real thing and testing to travel in either direction won't be required. Either that of a vaccine passport.

Southbound--my understanding is that the government will find the place for you to stay. You don't have to find it yourself.
