The page has just been updated with the 120-hour exemption for US and Canadian travelers. Looks like it's official. https://stmaartenehas.com/travel-requirements/

Well, jeez, glad to know that they finally got their sh*t together. No reason to put people through this kind of a wringer, just to go on vacation...

I'm a little unsure of exactly what this wording means: "As of February 12 2021, the rt-PCR test time frame will be reduced from 120 to 72 hours, before departure to Sint Maarten for all travelers originating from a high risk country (last leg in case of connecting flights) with the exception of travelers from the USA, US territories and Canada for which the time frame remains 120 hrs. This will remain in effect as long as the national health authorities of the USA and Canada do not require differently for their traveling citizens.

Well, that makes no sense, because the US really doesn't have any interest in the requirements for people who are LEAVING the US?

So far so good but anything can happen overnight. Never say never.

Thanks for posting. Clear as mud in some areas. Too bad they didn't address using different email addresses for each traveler.

It's official so why try to confuse the issue!
US and Canadian travelers to St Maarten have 120 Hours to get their Covid rtPCR test and submit it to EHAS in St Maarten for acceptance.

I'm not trying to confuse anything; just didn't understand the meaning of the statement that I bolded.
