The Omicron wave does not spare the island of Saint-Martin, in the West Indies. A night curfew was introduced there from Friday and the health pass made compulsory to try to stem an “exponential increase in contamination” with Covid-19, announced the prefect Serge Gouteyron.
The curfew, from midnight to 5 a.m., will be in effect for at least one month and the presentation of a health pass will now be compulsory in bars and restaurants, including on the terrace. The number of guests is limited to six per table with a distance of two meters between each table and the sale of alcohol to take away prohibited from 6 p.m. Greeting ceremonies are prohibited and dance floors prohibited.
“I will align myself with the decisions of the government” of the Dutch part of the island, also specified the prefect during a press conference. The French part of the island has nearly 33,000 inhabitants.
