Curaçao receives Dutch aid because of heavy corona wave
THE HAGUE, WILLEMSTAD - The Netherlands will send 30,000 extra vaccines against COVID-19 to Curaçao on Friday to combat the full hospitals and the increasing number of corona infections on the island.

Due to an increase in the number of corona infections, the pressure on healthcare in Curaçao is increasing enormously. Prime Minister Eugene Rhuggenaath called the situation very serious on Wednesday. Reason for the Netherlands to step in, says a spokesman for outgoing Dutch Undersecretary Paul Blokhuis (Health, Welfare and Sport) on Thursday.
