No more COVID19 exceptions: rule for one, rule for all
Legislation and regulations including COVID19 measurements are there to protect our Health Economy and Welfare. Because of exceptions made for mostly non-residents, several persons are contaminated with COVID19 and the risk of spreading the virus on the island has increased with all its consequences
Petition
We
The people as residents, entrepreneurs, employees and pensioners of Sint Eustatius, And sympathants
establish that:
- The government of St. Eustatius is making more and more exceptions on legislations, regulations and forcing measurements which are jeopardizing our health, economy and welfare.
- Meanwhile returning (registered) residents are faced with additional costs for flights and quarantine measurements.
- These double standards have led to serious risks, harm, loss of income, and therefore are unacceptable and not beneficial to the people of St. Eustatius.
and request
The State Secretary of the Interior and Kingdom relations to instruct the Government Commissioners to stop making exceptions on prevailing legislation in general but especially when it comes to COVID19 measurements. A 14 day quarantine needs to be mandatory for all persons traveling from medium or high risk territories and applicable for everybody including essential workers. The authorities needs to enforce these measurements at all times.
