There is an article in this week's Le Journal de Saint-Barth which provides more information regarding contacts of the person who tested positive. Le Journal can be downloaded at https://www.journaldesaintbarth.com/

I've done a cut-and-paste of the article, which is in French. An English translation created using Google Translate follows:

Le coronavirus est arrivé à Saint-Barth

Un quadragénaire est confiné chez lui, à Saint-Barthélemy. Ses parents en visite ont été placés à l’isolement à l’hôpital de Saint-Martin. Les trois ont été dépistés positifs au Covid-19, dimanche matin. La compagne et la fille du résident de l’île ont été testées dans la foulée. Hier, l’ARS a annoncé que les résultats étaient, cette fois, négatifs.

Un résident de Saint-Barth a contacté le Samu la semaine dernière, souffrant de symptômes du fameux coronavirus Covid-19 dont tout le monde parle depuis janvier. Dépisté positif, il a été placé à l’isolement chez lui, son état de santé n’étant pas inquiétant. Employé d’un commerce, il ne travaillait pas les jours précédant son confinement, et venait de recevoir la visite de ses parents venus de métropole.

Ces derniers sont arrivés le 21 février à Sint-Maarten puis ont rejoint Saint-Barthélemy. Après une semaine de vacances sur notre île, ils ont emprunté le Great Bay jeudi matin pour rejoindre l’aéroport Princess Juliana. Alors qu’ils s’apprêtaient à embarquer dans le vol Air France de 17 h 30, ils ont été interceptés. La direction de l’aéroport avait été informée peu avant 15 heures qu’ils étaient susceptibles d’être porteurs du Covid-19, en lien avec la prise en charge de leur fils. Surprise pour les deux époux, qui ne ressentaient aucun symptôme du virus. Ils ont été transférés dans une salle d’isolement aménagée au sein de l’aéroport, puis isolés à l’hôpital Louis-Constant-Fleming, où ils se trouvent toujours ; les tests ont confirmé qu’ils étaient contaminés. Ce sont des porteurs sains du virus : ils peuvent le transmettre, mais n’en subissent pas les effets. Il est fort probable que les parents, qui avaient fréquenté une zone à risque en métropole avant de venir aux Antilles, l’Oise, aient été les premiers contaminés par le Covid-19. Les époux et leurs fils ne pourront quitter le confinement qu’après deux analyses certifiant qu’ils ne sont plus porteurs du coronavirus.

Après la découverte de ces cas avérés, les craintes se sont naturellement portées sur leur entourage proche. La compagne du résident de Saint-Barth et sa fille ont été testées elles aussi. Hier, après deux jours d’analyses, un délai un peu plus long que d’habitude, les résultats se sont avérés négatifs. Bonne nouvelle pour cette famille et pour le territoire. Depuis, la “cellule contact” de l’ARS a travaillé pour retrouver les personnes avec qui les trois premiers patients sont entrés en contact durant la semaine de Carnaval. L’Agence de santé a appelé plusieurs habitants de l’île avec qui cette famille avait des liens rapprochés pour les questionner et leur expliquer les précautions à prendre. La directrice de l’ARS Valérie Denux, qui a donné une conférence de presse hier soir à Saint-Martin, a expliqué que les Îles du Nord sont placées au stade 2 du niveau épidémique. Elles redescendront au stade 1 s’il n’y a pas de nouveau cas dans les dix jours qui viennent. Mais selon elle, même si le virus ne semble pas en circulation sur les îles à ce jour, il faut tout de même s’attendre à de nouveaux cas, notamment en raison des mouvements de population.

Beaucoup de résidents s’inquiètent. La Préfète de Saint-Barthélemy et Saint-Martin, Sylvie Feucher, rassure : « Il faut quand même des contacts rapprochés entre les gens. Le virus ne saute pas d’une épaule à une autre. » Seule chose à faire : respecter les consignes d’hygiène (pas de bise ni de poignée de main, lavage des mains fréquent) et, en cas de symptôme ou de doute, rester chez soi et contacter le Samu.

Pour l’instant, aucune mesure restrictive sur les rassemblements ou événements n’est à l’ordre du jour. « A ce jour (mardi, ndlr), je ne change rien aux habitudes. Si demain on a un foyer de quinze personnes à Saint-Barthélemy, ce sera bien sûr différent », poursuit la Préfète. « Un territoire devient un cluster à partir de trois personnes infectées sans qu’elles soient liées. Nous n’en sommes pas là. Avec la directrice générale de l’ARS, nous estimerons le risque et prendrons des mesures s’il le faut. Dans les dix jours qui viennent, nous aurons une vision claire de ce qu’il se passe. » Sylvie Feucher insiste sur « les gestes barrières, qui sont la meilleure des protections. »

Trente personnes ont été testées depuis le 27 février en Guadeloupe et dans les Îles du Nord. Un point sur l’évolution de la situation est publié chaque jour par l’ARS. Premièrement réalisés en Guyane, les examens biologiques sont maintenant effectués à l’Institut Pasteur de Guadeloupe, ce qui réduit le délai d’obtention des résultats à 24 heures environ. Aucun cas n’a pour l’instant été avéré à Saint-Martin (où est hospitalisé le couple de Saint-Barth) ni ailleurs dans les Antilles.

Here's a version in English, translation done by Google Translate. Note that Google Translate isn't exact, and parts of the translation may be a bit confusing:

The coronavirus has arrived in Saint-Barth

A forties is confined to his home in Saint-Barthélemy. Her visiting parents were placed in solitary confinement at St. Martin's Hospital. All three tested positive for Covid-19 on Sunday morning. The islander's companion and daughter were tested in the process. ARS announced yesterday that the results were negative this time.

A Saint Barth resident contacted the Samu last week, suffering from symptoms of the famous Covid-19 coronavirus that everyone has been talking about since January. He tested positive and was placed in solitary confinement at his home, his condition not being worrying. Employed in a business, he did not work the days preceding his confinement, and had just been visited by his parents from metropolitan France.

The latter arrived on February 21 in Sint-Maarten and then joined Saint-Barthélemy. After a week's vacation on our island, they took the Great Bay on Thursday morning to reach Princess Juliana Airport. As they were about to board the 5:30 p.m. Air France flight, they were stopped. Airport management had been informed shortly before 3 p.m. that they were likely to be carrying the Covid-19, in connection with the care of their son. Surprise for the two spouses, who had no symptoms of the virus. They were transferred to an isolation room at the airport, then isolated at the Louis-Constant-Fleming hospital, where they are still located; tests confirmed that they were contaminated. They are healthy carriers of the virus: they can transmit it, but are not affected by it. It is very likely that the parents, who had frequented a risk zone in mainland France before coming to the Antilles, the Oise, were the first to be infected with Covid-19. The spouses and their sons can only leave confinement after two tests certifying that they are no longer carriers of the coronavirus.

After the discovery of these proven cases, the fears naturally fell on their immediate entourage. The Saint-Barth resident's partner and her daughter were also tested. After two days of testing yesterday, a bit longer than usual, the results turned out to be negative. Good news for this family and for the area. Since then, the ARS "contact cell" has worked to find the people with whom the first three patients came into contact during Carnival week. The health agency called several residents of the island with whom this family had close ties to question them and explain the precautions to be taken. ARS director Valérie Denux, who gave a press conference last night in Saint Martin, explained that the Northern Islands are at stage 2 of the epidemic level. They will descend to stage 1 if there are no new cases in the next ten days. But according to her, even if the virus does not seem to be circulating on the islands to date, we should still expect new cases, in particular due to population movements.

Many residents are concerned. The Prefect of Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin, Sylvie Feucher, reassures: “We still need close contacts between people. The virus does not jump from one shoulder to another. The only thing to do: respect the hygiene instructions (no kiss or handshake, frequent hand washing) and, in case of symptoms or doubt, stay at home and contact the Samu.

For the moment, no restrictive measure on rallies or events is on the agenda. "To date (Tuesday, note), I haven't changed anything about habits. If tomorrow we have a home of fifteen people in Saint-Barthélemy, it will of course be different, ”continues the Prefect. "A territory becomes a cluster from three infected people without them being linked. We are not there. With the Director General of ARS, we will assess the risk and take action if necessary. In the next ten days, we will have a clear vision of what is going on. "Sylvie Feucher insists on" barrier gestures, which are the best protection. "
Thirty people have been tested since February 27 in Guadeloupe and the Northern Islands. An update on the situation is published daily by the ARS. First carried out in Guyana, biological examinations are now carried out at the Institut Pasteur in Guadeloupe, which reduces the time required to obtain results to around 24 hours. No case has yet been confirmed in Saint-Martin (where the Saint-Barth couple is hospitalized) or elsewhere in the West Indies.

Attached is today's (Monday, March 9) Point Update from ARS Guadeloupe, the regional health authority. There are no new cases, and all results for "contacts" are negative.

Note: There will not be another Point Update until "the balance sheet changes".

Still 1 confirmed case on SBH, isolated at home.
Still 2 confirmed cases on St Martin, in the French-side hospital.
New, "close contacts" have tested negative.

The government of Sint Maarten has announced travel restrictions. This won't impact most visitors to SBH, but it may impact a few. "As such, all ‘passengers and crew members’ traveling to St. Maarten who have been in the last 14 days visiting the cities and or countries of China (People's Rep.), Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, are not allowed to transit or enter Sint Maarten."

[h=1]Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs National Address on COVID-19[/h]
06 March 2020




​People of St. Maarten, I hereby address you, as Prime Minister and Chair of the EOC (Emergency Operations Center), in this official update concerning the COVID-19 preparedness, prevention, mitigation and response of the Government of St. Maarten. Our priority remains educating the population and ensuring protection and awareness of our front liners who are in constant contact with the public.

COVID-19 is a global health crisis, which is affecting countries around the world. As such, St. Maarten, although, having no probable or confirmed cases as of today March 6th, 2020, is continuously assessing, and addressing our levels of preparedness in order to be able to contain the spread should a case be identified on St. Maarten.

The EOC meetings which have taken place this week, were held on Wednesday March 4, and today Friday March 6, 2020. I can hereby update that there have been no new cases of COVID-19 identified on French St. Martin and that the two diagnosed patients remain in isolation at the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital. Any reports to the contrary has been deemed as incorrect.

Taking St. Maarten’s size and capacity into account, and in order to further mitigate St. Maarten’s exposure to the COVID-19 virus, after consultation with EOC members, it has been determined that implementing travel restrictions is an appropriate measure at this time. As such travel restrictions have been communicated via TIMATIC, which gives notifications to airlines pertaining to restrictions for travel. As such, all ‘passengers and crew members’ traveling to St. Maarten who have been in the last 14 days visiting the cities and or countries of China (People's Rep.), Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, are not allowed to transit or enter Sint Maarten.


Let me be clear. This travel restriction does not apply to nationals of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which includes The Netherlands, St. Maarten, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Saba and Sint Eustatius. This also does not apply to residents of St. Maarten. This allows for a first level of screening of passengers prior to check in to travel to St. Maarten.

The St. Maarten Immigration Department will be executing a second check upon arrival. They will be utilizing key questions to ascertain if visitors or residents have traveled to areas within the high rates of infection within the past 14 days. Passengers identified as having travelled from these areas within 14 days, will receive a bookmark with key information on what to do in the event they could start to experience/develop symptoms associated with the COVID-19 virus.


Established protocols as related to cruise travel will also continue to be strictly enforced in order to safeguard safety and security of our residents. As well as maintain our good reputation as a safe and viable destination for our visitors, which is serious about the prevention, mitigation and response to the COVID-19 virus. These measures are deemed necessary even as we work to increase our capacity to effectively deal with the challenges which would arise should cases be identified.
In addressing our capacity.

Due to limited capacity at our St. Maarten Medical Centre, more options for quarantine and isolation spaces have been identified in order to increase capacity to be able to provide good medical services in a safe and controlled environment in advance of a potential outbreak.


Through the department of BAK (Department of Interior & Kingdom Relations), under the Ministry of General Affairs, international assistance in the form of technical support for our health officials is being arranged through PAHO, UNDAC, as well as our colleagues in the kingdom. Other streams are also coming up onboard. Our cooperation with French St. Martin is also ongoing and we have committed to meet once per week to update and cement any new agreements necessary to collectively mitigate the spread of this virus our lovely island.

To update on our Department of CPS (Collective Prevention Services): Trainings have continued during this week at Princess Juliana International Airport, Heineken Regatta volunteers and workers, schoolboards and an information session will be planned for parents in the coming weeks. The red cross will be providing training sessions on proper hygiene and handwashing techniques at schools in the next week. The Heineken Regatta has been inspected and is adhering to the protocols established and laid down by the health department. Controls will continue for the duration of the festival and will be evaluated thereafter.

As Prime Minister, I would like to encourage our citizens and visitors to remain calm, stay informed and be prepared as countries all around the wolrd are currently either already affected or expect to be within the near future. St. Maarten is no exception, and as such we must continue to be prepared and take all necessary measures to be ready to deal with the covid-19 virus.

The Collective Prevention Services (CPS) hereby reminds the general population that we should step-up our handwashing, cough and sneeze etiquettes in order to prevent the spreading of COVID-19. The general public as well as our visitors are encouraged to follow regular updates via recognized and credible news sources. Public announcements will continue on all radio stations. Digital billboards will have messages as well as the print media. For more information, call the following emergency hotline number 914 of the Collective Prevention Service (CPS).

Follow our Government Radiostation – 107.9FM. For official information, statements and news updates or visit the Government website at www.sintmaartengov.org/coronavirus and our Facebook Page: Government of Sint Maarten.

As Prime Minister of St. Maarten, I wish to encourage all of us to remain steadfast in preparing for what is to come. Just as we prepare for Hurricane seasons every year. Knowledge is power! Stay informed and prepared. Ensure you have a disaster preparedness kit which can sustain your family for atleast 14 days.
We are strong, resilient and faithful people and trust that this too shall pass.

God bless St. Maarten and her people and God protect her shores!




The Daily Herald newspaper on St Maarten has published a related story: https://www.thedailyherald.sx/islands/travel-restrictions-now-in-effect-for-st-maarten

[h=1]Travel restrictions now in effect for St. Maarten[/h]
PHILIPSBURG--Persons who have, in the last fourteen days of their travel, visited cities and or countries in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, will not be allowed to transit or enter St. Maarten as travel restrictions to keep novel coronavirus COVID-19 at bay, are now in effect.



Chairperson of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs said in a national address late Friday in which she updated on the virus, that these travel restrictions have been communicated via Travel Information Manual Automatic Timatic, which gives notifications to airlines on restrictions for travel.



“As such, all passengers and crew members travelling to St. Maarten who have been, in the last 14 days, visiting the cities and or countries of China (People’s Republic), Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, are not allowed to transit or enter St. Maarten,” Jacobs said in her national address.

I received the following email from Tradewind Aviation, which many here use for transportation between SBH and SJU:

Good morning,

As you know, President Trump announced significant travel restrictions last night. These restrictions do not directly apply to travel to/from St. Bart’s because it is not part of the border-free Schengen area.

In summary, if you have travelled to any of the following countries in the last 14 days, you will not be allowed entry into the United States unless you are a US citizen, permanent resident or with limited exceptions. If you are allowed entry into the US, you must enter the US through one of 11 designated gateway airports.
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

If you have travelled to the above countries in the previous 14 days, please contact our office to rebook your travel at charter@flytradewind.com or at 800-376-7922.

Once again, travel to and from St. Bart’s remains largely unaffected and we look forward to welcoming you onboard.

Thank you,
