While waiting to learn more today about the concrete measures taken by the representative of the State for the Northern Islands, the restaurants and bars of Saint-Martin were forced to close their doors last night Monday, from midnight until further notice. For the rest, it is the most total blur ...
The cleaver, feared by all the restaurants and bars of Saint-Martin, fell yesterday in full service. No one yet suspected that they should lower the curtain at midnight. For an undetermined time. Everyone admits to being taken aback.
On the other hand, the hotels remain open, room service services are also authorized, said the prefect.
Take-out is still not prohibited.
On the Dutch Side, the government of Sint Maarten was due to vote last night to announce whether or not it was following the measures of the French government, which were exposed to it yesterday in the afternoon by the services of the Prefecture during a meeting organized in Philipsburg. _AF
