In the last week, the number of COVID-19 cases increased considerably in Aruba. 

From these numbers, we can already conclude the following;

1. The vast majority of persons getting COVID-19 are not vaccinated;
2. The group of vaccinated persons that get COVID-19 does not get very sick;
3. Very few vaccinated persons that get COVID-19 get hospitalized
4. Currently, there are no vaccinated persons with COVID-19 in the ICU.

The Prime Minister stated that these numbers are proof that the COVI-19 vaccine is very effective. As is the case in other countries, when COVID-19 cases increase, unvaccinated persons are swayed to take the vaccine. Currently, there are more than 800 persons that already an appointment to get the vaccine in the next few days. Aruba received more than 1200 vaccines. It means that that more vaccines than the requests to vaccinate. The Prime Minister urges parents to take their children to take the vaccine before the start of the new school year so that their studies won’t suffer if they get COVID-19 and must go into quarantine or isolation. The vaccine will give more protection to young persons and adults against the severe effects of this virus.  “The Centro Libertador Betico Croes (Sporthall) vaccination center will remain open for persons wanting to take the vaccine. Let us make use of this opportunity for Aruba to recover and prosper”, the Prime Minister expressed.
