Hello Ms. Walker,
Thank you so much for the quick reply. I am still a bit confused. The Abbott BinaxNow has EUA from the US FDA. Both postings I listed are directly to your own (Sint Maarten) Government website and list the Abbott BinaxNow as now being accepted by the Government of St. Maarten for testing purposes as an Antigen test. I have cut and pasted directly from the website to below.

So, with the Abbott BinaxNow Rapid Antigen test having an EUA issued by the US FDA and Sint Maarten government having it posted on their own official website, does that mean that I and others can use this test for submission to EHAS for entry to Sint Maarten?
Again, thank you in advance for all of your help and for clarifying this very important matter.
Sincerely,
Brian Deeley

Hello,
I’m reaching out to try and get a definitive answer on whether or not the Abbott BinaxNow rapid Antigen test is acceptable for submission for entry to SXM. According to the Official Sint Government website and the associated Facebook page for Sint Maarten Government, the test was approved for submission of results for entrance by using EHAS. I would kindly request a response on whether or not you are accepting the results from a medical group using the BinaxNow testing. I reference the two listing below that states that SXM is accepting this test.
The Official Website; Government of Sint Maarten
http://www.sintmaartengov.org/Press...COVID-19-Ag-Card-rapid-antigen-test.aspx Facebook page: Government of Sint Maarten
https://www.facebook.com/SXMGOV/pos...-rapid-antigen-test-th/1819391628232154/ Your response is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for all of your help.
