Sint Maarten and Saint Martin Agree to Extend Curfew, Implement New Times
The Dutch and French governments met earlier today in a meeting focused on cross border cooperation. In attendance were Governor Eugene Holiday, Justice Minister Rafael Boasman, Tourism Minister Mellissa Arrindell Doncher, Prefet Anne Laubies and French side President Daniel Gibbs.
The decision has been made to change the curfew beginning immediately. The new times will be from 9 PM to 6 AM. The curfew will be in effect until October 2, which is one week from today.
Law enforcement will be strictly enforcing the curfew and they will be actively patrolling to ensure that all citizens are adhering to it. The curfew is in place to help clear the roads as cleanup efforts continue and to maintain public order and safety for businesses and residents.
