I emailed Pres. Bruno Magras today to ask if there may be any changes to the restrictions in St. Barth in light of what Pres. Macron said. Here is his response:

"We are working on that.
I have sent a letter to the Prefet to request some adjustments.
But I haven’t get any return on that."

So, an effort continues to slowly open up St. Barth.

It would be nice if the beaches would open for the residents. I miss my long walks, an hour is just a tease. too early to open the borders though.
 
From Le Journal's FB page, translated by Google:

Swimming and noisy gear again allowed from tomorrow
04/15/2020

The orders prohibiting swimming and the use of noisy construction equipment end this Wednesday, April 15. The Collectivity decided not to renew them, "in order to reconcile the need to maintain part of the economic activity with that of preserving correct conditions of confinement".

The use of BRH or jackhammers is only authorized from 8 a.m. to noon, Monday to Friday. Only road public works can continue from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Regarding swimming or surfing, these activities can be carried out within the framework of exit certificates. You must check the "sporting activity" box, and as with jogging, limit yourself to one hour and if possible stay close to home. The activity must be carried out alone or only with people living in the same home. "Children accompanied by a parent are tolerated as long as there is no durable installation on the beach. We bathe and dry ourselves ", specifies the Collectivity, which adds that controls will be maintained on all the beaches.
 
its an hour on the beach, you could bring your children but no friends. makes sense to me. no dogs allowed, I think they will enforce that rule.

what are the conditions, do you know? woo hoo!
Click to expand...


solo swimming, no set up of towels, umbrellas, etc on the beach, swim, dry, walk, leave... kids can be accompanied by a parent, same rules. no dogs as usual ....
no groups, etc... social distancing.

also noise like jack hammers now allowed again from 8am-12noon Mon-Fri.. anyone see my earplugs?
 
not sure if I agree with the solo swimming, what if you get a cramp, no one to save you? it might be wiser to say no more than two persons together.
 
Can someone explain who is making the rules for St. Barth? Originally we were told that St. Barth follows the rules of France. Then Guadeloupe decides. Then French St. Martin decides. Then the Collectivitie decides. How much authority does the St. Barth government have over this?
 
As I understand it, France has the highest level authority. In descending order, the Préfet in Guadeloupe can tighten further, the Préfet for St Martin and St Barthélemy can tighten further, and the Collectivité can tighten even further. The lockdown emanates from Paris. The Préfet in Guadeloupe was the one who imposed the No-Beach order. When he recently lifted it, the Collectivité re-imposed it. Now the Collectivité has lifted it, subject to certain constraints.
 
:D WONDERFUL news!! 🙌🏼 Even just one hour of swimming at the beaches makes all the difference. My kids will be jumping for joy at this change. Thanks for posting!
