"Aruba has been preparing for this (COVID-19 Omicron variant being detected in Aruba) for a while now. That is why we took measures from early on. We see an increase in COVID-19 cases, but not a drastic one. We ask everyone to be cautious, but don't panic. Wear your facemask, keep distance and apply all hygienic measures. Always and with discipline. We are fighting an invisible enemy, but we can fight it through discipline."
