WILLEMSTAD - Member of Parliament Giselle McWilliam for the coalition partner MAN wonders whether it is wise for the secondary schools in Curaçao to open completely again starting Tuesday.
She has asked questions about this to Minister of Education Steven Croes. According to Mc William, the risk is high that after the holidays there will be an increase in the number of corona infections. That is why she wants to know from the minister on what ground his decision is based that it is safe to reopen the schools.
Before the Christmas holidays, stricter measures applied at the schools, including by setting a maximum of 15 pupils per class.
In other countries, according to McWilliam, they first wait and see what the consequences of the holidays - both Christmas and New Years - for the number of corona infections, before corona measures are relaxed.
Both on Aruba and on Bonaire there has been an increase in the number of corona infections in recent days. Sint Maarten experienced a decline.
