SandS,
As always, use your own good judgement and listen to the advice of responsible Islanders. A curfew would be no problem for us either, since even for special evenings we’re generally in ny ninish or thereabout.
When we were on island in early to mid November we followed pretty much the same protocols we follow at home - masks, hand-washing, etc. The island was moderately busy although certainly not at the level of high holiday weeks. We had no problems but we deliberately avoided closed in venues and crowded outdoor locations, and we did most of our evening dining alfresco when possible. We stay in one of the smaller resorts so there’s no necessity to be in crowds there.
My biggest concern was, and still is for that matter, the possibility of coming into contact with people at the airports where, through necessity, the herding factor still exists. Still hoping for our April trip but situations at the time will dictate our plans and any possible changes.

As someone posted elsewhere, all guests at resorts have been vaxxed. You can't be sure of that at home in US. That isn't at all true....all guests either have had a negative test before arrival OR were fully vaxxed. That IS better than at home since there are many unvaxxed and untested wandering the earth....and being vaxxed prior to arrival doesn't mean you do not have the virus on arrival....VERY complex Totally true about the airport as ground zero for the biggest potential on Island for getting infected,,,,from the crammed bus to the crowded documents line....yuck

You probably won't notice much difference. Some places will be temporarily closed due to lack of staff. There's plenty people out and about. Our comfort level ( and many friends) is much lower than most, I guess.
Hopefully the "sanitary" measures will finally be enforced.

Correct. An OPINION that is NOT factual. As someone posted elsewhere, all guests at resorts have been vaxxed. You can't be sure of that at home in US. That isn't at all true....all guests either have had a negative test before arrival OR were fully vaxxed. That IS better than at home since there are many unvaxxed and untested wandering the earth....and being vaxxed prior to arrival doesn't mean you do not have the virus on arrival....VERY complex Totally true about the airport as ground zero for the biggest potential on Island for getting infected,,,,from the crammed bus to the crowded documents line....yuck
