WILLEMSTAD - During the daily update Dr. Izzy Gerstenbluth indicated that 292 people were tested. Curaçao remains at 14 confirmed cases with 2 inconclusive. These 2 are treated as confirmed cases and they are in isolation.
The Department of Public Health is also monitoring a group of people who arrived on the island after the measures were announced. The doctor also said that they are monitoring a group of people who traveled to the island these days for work. They also need to remain 14 days in quarantine before being able to start their work.
“We are in a crucial phase, if we can go through this without local infections, we can ease the measures.”
The doctor said that we need to keep this up for a while so we can be sure we are free from the virus and it may take a while. Only then can we start thinking about going back to normal.
“We must keep a distance to avoid any spread. We are going to relax, but we are still in the crucial phase, spreading through pocket cases must be prevented. There may still be infections that are under the radar,” said Dr. Gerstenbluth.
