On Island Measures Increase:
Due to an increased number of covid cases on island, Saba will be moving to alert level 2. This will be implemented December 23rd, 2021, effective immediately.
The scaling up to level 2 means that as of today:
– Masks are strongly recommended in public places.
– Physical distancing is recommended where possible.
– Bars & Restaurants may remain open but the staff should be masked.
– Stores may remain open but recommend persons entering the stores to mask and the personnel should be masked as well.
– Church and group gathering indoors will have a maximum of 100 persons, masked.
– Work from home when possible and to only go into the office when that is needed.
We urge the public to follow instructions and fully cooperate if you get a call from our Public Health colleagues. We urge you to not go to the testing center unless you are called to.
