Covid-19 Update - St. Maarten

Govt. to reevaluate length of lockdown after impromptu, curfew breaking jou'vert jams

After the impromptu, curfew breaking jou'vert jams in Dutch Quarter and Fort Willem this morning, government will now reevaluate the length of the lockdown.

"With your behaviour, with your lack of discipline, and lack of thinking about the other man, now we will have to reevaluate whether this lockdown will have to continue even longer." - St. Maarten Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs

Police is investigating the jou'vert revelry. Fines and jail time are pending for revelers and promoters of the festivities.

The morning of April 27, King's Day, is traditionally when the jou'vert jam around Philipsburg is held. This year, due to Covid-19 this and all other carnival festivities were cancelled and the country went into lockdown.

Posted that earlier but to bad they just can't follow the government orders. A few just mess up the majority of those following the rules. Ignorance at it's best.

Sadly, that is how it usually works.
