The Government of Sint Maarten would like to inform the public that the current Coronavirus data which provides more details, will be made available on the COVID-19 Page on the Government website. You can check the website page on a daily basis for updates.
The information was recently simplified in the graphics form and press releases and circulated to the media and the community via various forums and groups. This was done based on many complaints received that the numbers were confusing to the public and the decision was taken to keep the infographic as simple as possible depicting the breakdown of the total cases.
Due to many requests received, the detailed information will be made available via the Government website.
