WILLEMSTAD - The Covid measures in force will expire next Friday, October 15, 2021, after they were extended by three weeks on September 23 by Lesley Fer, head of the crisis team. Next weekend will be decisive for the continuation of the measures.
The extension of the measures was in anticipation of the contamination figures, because, according to Fer, they did not allow for the crisis team to relax the measures. The three-week extension is almost over, and another decision will have to be made.
The coming weekend will be crucial in terms of tightening or relaxing the measures. The situation in the hospital will play an important role in this.
Compared to three weeks ago, the number of infected people has decreased, as has the number of hospital admissions. However, the situation is still far from ideal. Especially the death numbers. Yesterday it was reported that there were three covid-related deaths.
