The metropolis is temporarily cut off from overseas. Flights between France and Martinique, Mayotte, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Reunion, Saint Martin and Saint-Barthélemy will be prohibited from Monday midnight until April 15, according to a decree published Sunday in the Official Journal
Travel between these islands is also prohibited unless derogated for "compelling personal or family reasons", "emergency health" or "professional cannot be deferred".
Always a return
This measure "does not prevent the return to France of tourists who have gone overseas, or of overseas residents who had left for a short stay in France and would have no solution to stay there," said the overseas department.
"The government has also asked the airlines to remain mobilized to ensure minimum continuity of air links with overseas territories," he said.
A more fragile health situation
"The health situation specific to the insularity, isolation and remoteness of overseas territories from the rest of the national territory, characterized by the major difficulties which these territories would face in the event of massive spread due to import cases virus by air "justifies these measures already announced last week by the prefectures of these territories, according to the decree.
Persons wishing to benefit from one of the exceptions mentioned must present to the air carrier when boarding the documents justifying the reason and a declaration on their honor, specifies the order.
