T minus 3 days 12 hours 49 minutes and 45 seconds until wheels down!
Quick question.
In any circumstances are daily temp checks required?

We get an email every morning to report our temp. Some do and others have reported not getting the email or getting it part way through their stay. Just another inconsistent and confusing thing the SXM government is doing with regard to tourism.

We are getting emails every morning to report our temperature in the EHAS portal.

Exactly, It quickly became a daily routine. Get up, brush our teeth, make the coffee and walk 150ft to the lobby. Put your forehead close to wall mounted thermometer, get your temp and walk back to the room. While sipping the first cup of coffee open up email and send temp. Easy-peasey.
We saw our hotel staff trying so hard to get all of the covid protocols correct that we were compelled to our best to comply also. And I felt that SXM (dutch side) was trying hard too and getting it right.

To me, of all the hoops to go through to go to SXM, the temperature check seems the dumbest thing, and the easiest to comply with. Some people have reported they didn't get the emails and others have reported that they forgot to check their email, or that it went into spam, and there were apparently no repercussions TO THOSE WHO HAVE REPORTED THEY DIDN'T COMPLY. Assuming it is still required by June, we will do it.

Sorry you thought we wouldn't comply. We bought a new thermometer and will do it every day that we are asked. I was just curious since I have seen several reports where people were not getting the emails etc.
Scubaman, A little rough on the response. Thought you were on the island. Time to chill.
Hopefully joining you soon. carib cheers, doctorj

All good Scubaman,
We were on a twice a year schedule before Covid.
We are all about the Island. We have made so many life long friends that are residents and people from away.
You tend to meet many people in 30 plus years.
So excited to land this weekend.
carib cheers, doctorj

To no one in particular: When we were on the island last November/December, we got the daily emails requesting that we report our temperatures. We knew going in that we would need to do that, so we took an infrared thermometer with us. It was easy to do, and we really didn't mind it. We are guests on the island, and if this is what makes them more comfortable welcoming us, then I'm happy to comply. And to be honest, it was somewhat reassuring to get a normal temperature reading each day, as this was before we were vaccinated and while the virus was pretty much unchecked. We actually continued to take our temperature each day, for our own information, for a few days after we got home.

The process. Some take their temperature and report it. So some don't get the email. Some goes to spam. Some ignore.
What of those who have a small fever, don't report it and say "F it. I feel fine, and spent several thousand dollars on this vacation. I'm doing what I always do, and going where I always go."
Some social distance 6 feet, although Fauci admitted that "safe distance" was plucked out of thin air. Some are vaccinated and wear a mask (or two). Those really crack me up.
All part of the theater.
"It's 5 o'clock somewhere!"

Those are the few that will keep this island keepng and enforcing all the protocols for tourists to come. I choose to respectably abide the rules.

I brought my own thermometer . I input 98.6 and it rounds it up to 99. No problem. You can go to the portal via the previous day’s email if you wish, which I just did ten minutes ago.
