ORANJESTAD — Anyone with Covid-like symptoms and an MWV card can request their test online at http://arubacovid19.org/test and must complete the application form. Once the form is completed, the automated system generates a code that is sent to the user via email, which the user must enter under the “test” icon in the Aruba Health App.
