Willemstad, Curacao. The largest bank on the island of Curacao: MCB Bank, in a press release on their Facebook page they announced that one of their employee at the Rio Canario branch tested positive for the COVID-19 virus this Thursday. This person worked at the bank's branch until last Monday.
MANDATORY QUARANTINE
Since Thursday, August the 20th, the bank branch was closed until further notice and that it is thoroughly cleaned, reports indicated.
In consultation with Curacao's epidemiologist: Dr. Izzy Gerstenbluth and his team, MCB decided to have the entire branch team go into a mandatory quarantine for 14 days. However; according to Gerstenbluth; they were not tested, but the health department will be contacting them to see what day they will be tested.
PATIENT'S CARE
It was reported that the worker visited it's general practitioner before but they attributed it's health problem to its chronic disease and didn't test the person until the person got respiratory problems.
Gerstenbluth expressed, "there is a lot of communications that still needs to take place, including the flexibility for physicians to test their patients".
CURACAO COVID STATE
One reporter noted that; even though after the last National Lock-Down (NLD), there was no local transmission; the Curacao government and health department decided to still go into National Lock-Down mode.
The Curacao epidemiologist explained; among other things, however; now there is a local transmission; but there will not be a NLD, because the last time there was a different strategy and system compared to now.
Curacao has 37 total COVID-19 cases with 4 active cases (1 active locally transmitted) and 1 dead since March. The source of the local transmission hasn't been found yet, and according to Gerstenbluth Curacao is in level 2 out of 4 levels of state of transmission.
