Sint Maarten Issues Public Health Advisory & Travel Restrictions as Ebola Prevention Measures

The Government of Sint Maarten has implemented immediate public health measures and travel restrictions to prevent the potential importation of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). This action is a precautionary response to ongoing EVD concerns affecting parts of Africa, despite the risk to Sint Maarten remaining low with no confirmed local cases. The measures advise residents to avoid non-essential travel to affected countries. Additionally, passengers, regardless of nationality, are prohibited from entering or transiting Sint Maarten if they have been present in or transited through specified EVD-affected countries within 21 days prior to their travel. These steps aim to safeguard public health.
