We were in quarantine on Sint Maarten for over two weeks in March. No movement at all was permitted by the PM. She told everyone to eat sardines and crackers if they ran out of food. The Jacobs mandate was brutal on the local population, to say the least.

The next week people were allowed to order from a nearby grocery store to obtain food and have it delivered. Of course the system did not function so another week with little food.

Quarantine means no movement outside a residence at all, at least on the Dutch Side of Sint Maarten.
