TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Gov. Cuomo announces mandatory COVID-19 testing for out-of-state travelers

I would think that this applies to international travel also.

Wow! That is pretty severe. I get his reasoning but.....

So any New York residents leaving the state for over 24 hours will need two tests and a a three day quarantine when they return home.... and if you are going to a destination that requires a test (SXM) before arrival that would be three COVID tests for maybe a week "vacation"

..and to include Maine and Vermont which have a lower rate than NY is also weird...

Absolutely ridiculous. Over kill.

Sandflip, does this mean you guys will have to get a test in SXM to return home?

Ro, our November trip was canceled, but to answer your question, I would say yes that you would need a negative test in SXM, so you won’t have to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. Hopefully by March there will be a vaccine.

Okay, then, I don’t live in NY but close enough and we have our own gubernatorial issues here, but for what it’s worth, IMO, both of the younger Cuomos are narcissistic jerks.

Hopefully Inslee doesn't follow that lead in WA.

Pat, Pat, Pat,

Those are probably the harshest words I have ever seen you write online, but much nicer than how I would describe those two.

That's what I thought too!

Just want you to know, there are the occasional posts I make where it almost hurts to remain respectful! This was most definitely one of them.

OK, guys, got to remind people that political posts are not allowed here..

Got that right.

Again, enough with the political posts. This one is done.
