WILLEMSTAD - Dr. Izzy Gerstenbluth informed today that 304 people have been tested. There are no new cases. Curaçao is still at 14 confirmed cases. Two are still inconclusive. Clarity was expected about these two, which was indicated yesterday. But according to the epidemiologist indicated that the two genetic parts must both test positive, and this is not the case yet. He is waiting for more lab tests to be able to conclude if these two are confirmed cases or not.

One person is in intensive care and 11 are safe now.

But both people are treated as if they were positive, they are at home in isolation. There will be improvements in the way of testing, but more information will be available soon.

Dr. Gerstenbluth indicated that more and more measures are relaxed if no new infections are added. There will be a new normal in social distancing because a wave is still expected, especially after the borders are opened.

“The effects of easing restrictions are being examined. It is decided which companies are the most important, which will open first. It is not for nothing that we do not relax everything yet, we must do this step by step, and see what the effects are every step of the way. The situation must remain under control, otherwise, all sacrifices, all economic contractions, will have been in vain, said the doctor.
