WILLEMSTAD - Almost the whole world has them in shops and even at gas stations, but they are not allowed to be imported in Curaçao: self-tests for covid-19. That has also not gone unnoticed by Member of Parliament for the opposition party MAN Giselle McWilliam
She has now asked the Minister of Public Health Dr. Dorothy Pietersz-Janga about the lack of these tests. Among other things, Mc William wants to know from the minister how to proceed when schools open again. It is in this age group that most infections occur.
In the Netherlands, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) distributes self-testing in education, which, according to Mc William, is in stark contrast to the self-testing policy in Curaçao.
