While residents of Saba have been allowed to return home if they were away, no tourists have been allowed to disembark here since mid-March. We’ve had a total of five cases of COVID in that time, all among people who had just returned (and were strictly quarantined upon arrival). Testing has been extremely aggressive, so there’s no reason to think that’s an undercount. There are no cases now. So — except that no new folks can come to Saba right now, which also makes it quite difficult to leave — life is perfectly normal: no social distancing, no limits on sizes of gatherings, and, in general, no masks.
