PHILIPSBURG - Sint Maarten has extended travel restrictions for passengers from the United Kingdom, South Africa, and South America. These were instituted at the end of January. Several variants of the Covid-19 virus have since been discovered on Sint Maarten, but not the "more dangerous" variants from South America, the United Kingdom and South Africa.
In fact, the number of active infections has decreased significantly recently and is now very low at 17. Nevertheless, Sint Maarten wants to do everything it can to prevent more corona variants from entering the island.
