i agree, no cases here except the one that has recovered so why tempt fate?no cruise ships will definitely be a blow to the economy here, yikes. however I think its a wise decision.
Central American countries are starting to ban entry of flights from the U.S.
Sorry El Jefe. I should have said, “I wonder if Caribbean countries will restrict travel from the U.S. like some Central and South American countries have done recently”.
SBH related?
I hadn't heard about the ban from CA Countries, but that is pertinent and a great discussion point (even if for a different thread?). I think it becomes a ripple effect as Countries talk about banning travel. If it starts to happen in Central America it certainly could spread to the Caribbean (including SBH) and vice versa. Perhaps St Barth banning cruise ships is step one towards that. There is of course a big difference between people who come via cruise ship and walk around and then go back to a densely populated cruise ship for the night as compared to a private Villa, so hopefully not for those that are flying to from the US for visits to St Barth in the next month or two. It is going to be interesting how and where these bans take effect.Sorry El Jefe. I should have said, “I wonder if Caribbean countries will restrict travel from the U.S. like some Central and South American countries have done recently”.
In context, I took this to mean that fate is still being tempted with tourists allowed entry by other means (plane, ferry, private boat, et.). Along those lines, an ARS official was quoted in Le Journal saying:
"But you have to be realistic; Given the development of Covid-19 around the world, we can expect new cases, probably imported."
Aside #1. To my knowledge, regarding the post about Central America, only El Salvador has completely blocked US citizens (along with all other foreigners) entry. I have not followed events in that region closely, however.
Aside #2, As long as discussion/comments get posted in this thread, Fonzie may be tempted to come by... as you suggested in post #2...
