After the 5th day of isolation of testing positive, what you need to do to be able to board the plane to go back to the US?

Are you asking for yourself, or just curious? I think the answer is that you either have to test negative OR get a doctor to write a statement that you are 'recovered'.

Just curious and to know what to do in case it happens to us in SXM

OK. Hoping someone will reply who has an answer.

People - consult the authorities when you have questions like this. The answer is at the bottom of this page.

Testing positive while on island....LINK

And if you test positive via a self-test, immediately go get a test from a lab. This will get you in the system and start your first seven days running. Then after another seven days, you get your certificate of recovery.

If you reside or are vacationing on the Dutch side, you are eligible to receive a digital COVID certificate of recovery. 7 days after your positive test date, you can retrieve your digital COVID certificate.

Or walk around the hotel on the 4th day, telling people you got COVID on their premises.

Neighbor just got back from Bahamas, before leaving, he test Positive, no symptoms, but pregoo wife and kids negative. They send wife and kids home on a flight, no masks. They get sick in flight......

The dad never gets a symptom but tests positive....After 3 days of quarantine, eating wings and beer all day, he reads the hotels covid insurance; has a stipulation they will medic you home if need be. He Keeps calling hotels covid insurance agent, who doesnt return calls.. Finally tells manager if they dont call him back in an hour, he'll walk up and down the hotel halls ,telling folks he got covid in their hotel.

He got a ride on an crusty old Lear jet the very next morning.

So....do what he did.

For real lol.

Sounds like he cut his real vacation short.
