WILLEMSTAD - From October 1, a maximum of 20,000 visitors may visit Curacao every month. This is what the head of the crisis team Lesley Fer announced this morning during the government press conference. That number was 10,000.
There is a special limit for the US and Canada, a number that was not specified during the press conference. Curacao has lowered the classification to medium risk for Canada and the US states of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, which means that more air traffic is possible from those locations.
According to epidemiologist Dr. Izzy Gerstenbluth, the number of infections at those locations has decreased significantly recently, in addition, the locations are economically important for Curacao.
Two weeks of quarantine remains mandatory if returning from high-risk countries. This is no longer necessary in an assigned hotel, but can also be done at home.
