In the month of July, three people were also tested positive for COVID-19. It was a family that had been repatriated from Peru. Since that time, two of them have been declared cured and another is still in the hospital.

The Public Body Bonaire (OLB) emphasizes that in order to fight the coronavirus everyone must adhere to the hygiene rules. Keep 1.5 meters away from others, do not touch eyes, nose, and mouth and cough or sneeze in your elbow.
