ORANJESTAD - The Aruban minister of Tourism, Health and Sport Dangui Oduber, does not rule out that Aruba must close its borders with Latin America. The minister claimed during a press conference yesterday that the Netherlands would like to see this happen.
In the Netherlands it has been decided to no longer allow flights from South America, because the corona situation on that continent is not under control. According to the minister, this could have consequences for Aruba. "If the Netherlands wants us to close borders with South America, we will seriously consider it," he said.
The government is consulting with the Representation of the Netherlands about a possible border closure.
