WILLEMSTAD - The government of Curaçao issued a new country classification list on Monday, July 19 with color codes of countries that pose a high and low COVID-19 risk.

Countries with a very high risk, color-coded red, include the Netherlands, Colombia and Venezuela. Sint Maarten and Suriname are colored orange, so also a high risk.

Aruba, Bonaire and the United States are yellow, so low-risk countries. Safe countries with color code green are Saba and Sint Eustatius. Curaçao itself is colored orange and is therefore seen as a high-risk country.
