WILLEMSTAD - The Curacao Medical Center (CMC) has no confirmed COVID-19 patients and would like to keep it that way. For that reason, the new hospital handles all appointments by telephone. The patient will be called to receive instructions.

The hospital reports this in a press statement. Appointments for emergency care, dialysis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and if the specialist deems it necessary will continue.

The CMC does allow visitors, but only one person per patient, from half-past eleven to half-past one. However, all visitors with indications of illness are not admitted.

Visitors can only enter the hospital via the parking garage or Emergency Service. The east and west entrances are temporarily unavailable.
