KRALENDIJK- On Tuesday there was some chaos in traffic due to the number of cars waiting outside the stadium in the Kaya Betico Croes to drive through the drive-thru test facility.

Officers from the Dutch Caribbean Police Force were called in to help direct traffic.

Since Bonaire is encouraging only those with symptoms to come in to be tested for COVID-19, the number of people who register for a test is a signal that there are still many people who have symptoms related to COVID-19.

Decrease?

Although the number of positive tests has declined somewhat in recent days, it is not clear whether there is an actual decrease in the number of cases.
