Faced with the improvement in the health situation (33 new cases during the week of October 11 to 17), the Prefect, Serge Gouteyron decided to modify the closing times of establishments receiving the public at 1 am.
• Details on the scope of the health pass
All bars and restaurants, as well as hotels, which accommodate more than 30 people, are subject from Friday, October 22 to the establishment of the health pass. All sporting, cultural, fun and festive events that welcome more than 30 people must also apply it and be declared in advance to the Prefecture services. In return, all of the reception restrictions linked to the health situation are lifted, in particular the wearing of a mask in these places is left to the discretion of the manager.
People wishing to access the previously mentioned establishments will now have to present their full vaccination certificate, the result of a PCR or antigen test of less than 72 hours or a certificate of recovery from Covid. The operators are responsible for organizing the controls relating to the health pass.
All employees, volunteers, service providers, temporary workers and subcontractors working in bars, restaurants and hotels, as well as during public events, are subject to presentation of the health pass, except when their activity takes place: • in spaces not accessible to the public;
• outside opening hours to the public.
The personnel who make deliveries are not subject to the obligation of the health pass, as are those who carry out emergency interventions. However, providers who intervene on a recurring, planned and prolonged basis are concerned by the application of the health pass.
Kitchen staff are not subject to the sanitary pass as soon as the kitchen area is not open to the public and the kitchen staff does not intervene during opening hours in areas open to the public. However, as soon as these conditions are not met, the kitchen staff must have a valid health pass like any restaurant employee working with the public.
A one-week transition period is granted to all establishments to allow the gradual implementation of the health pass.
In order to guarantee consistency across the island, a point will be made on October 29 in relation to the provisions that will be announced by the authorities of Sint Maarten.
