The latest data from Public Health France show a sharp increase in the number of positive cases for covid in Saint Martin (138 during the week of July 26 to August 1 against 63 the previous week). The Louis Constant Fleming hospital still receives a large number of patients, with 13 people as of August 4 in the covid unit. Two deaths are to be deplored in 2 weeks.
In Saint-Barthélemy, the number of covid cases has also increased sharply with 170 new cases from July 19 to 25 and 167 from July 26 to August 1. The incidence rate reached 1705/100 000 inhabitants and the positivity rate 8,4%.
As the health situations in Guadeloupe and Martinique have deteriorated for several weeks and our hospital system cannot cope alone, the Prefect of Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin has decided to introduce additional measures to curb the spread of the virus on our islands. .
IEstablishment of a curfew on the islands of Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin from 22 p.m. to 5 a.m.
From Thursday August 5 and until Friday August 20 at 5 a.m., a curfew is in place on the two islands from 22 p.m. to 5 a.m. in order to limit travel and gatherings which increase the risk of contamination.
Travel will be prohibited from 22 p.m. to 5 a.m., unless there is a compelling reason. People having to travel to these time slots will have to bring a derogatory certificate and supporting documents to justify their situation. This certificate is available on the Prefecture website www.saint-barth-saint-martin.gouv.fr . For business trips, a certificate must be signed by the employer; it will be valid for the entire curfew period. Restaurants and drinking establishments will be able to welcome customers until this time in accordance with sanitary protocol.
In addition, all demonstrations are prohibited until Friday, August 20, with the exception, however, of demonstrations on public roads cited in Articles L.211-1 et seq. Of the Internal Security Code. The practices of sporting activities are tolerated behind closed doors.
The sale of take-away alcohol and its consumption on public roads remain prohibited from 18 p.m.
