ST. EUSTATIUS--F.D. Roosevelt Airport in St. Eustatius was busy with medevac flights over a two-day period. On Friday evening, April 10, an air ambulance from Bonaire touched down with the air-ambulance crew wearing personal protective equipment.

Later that same night, another air ambulance touched at the airport to airlift a Statia patient to Bonaire. The aircraft took off from the airport at 5:30am on Saturday, April 11.

Around 11:00am on Saturday an SXM Airways aircraft touched down at the airport to transfer patients of Health Care Office ZVK patients to Bonaire via St. Maarten.

BONAIRE STARTS ‘DRIVE-THRU’ COVID TESTING (bes-reporter.com). Bonaire will attempt to test as much of its population as possible while mitigating exposure of both residents and medical staff. From Tuesday 14 April, a large tent will be set up where the tests can be taken while people remain in their car. In the tent, tests will be taken by means of a swab of the throat and nose.

So far, Bonaire has recorded no active cases of Covid-19. Saba has one active case, and Statia has recorded two.
