WILLEMSTAD - This year there are fewer business owners interested in selling fireworks. Traditionally, there are many sales points on the island.
But several sellers have dropped out this year because of the corona situation. It is not yet certain how New Year's Eve will be celebrated in Curaçao due to the strict measures against the spread of the virus. The bad economic situation also plays a role.
Several sellers who did have sales outlets last year are withdrawing this year.
Fear for corona infections would also play a role. Last Friday, fireworks were tested that arrived new on the island this year. According to reports, everything went well.
