PHILIPSBURG--The coronavirus COVID-19 death toll on the Dutch side climbed to four on Friday when two more persons succumbed to the highly infectious illness.
Collective Prevention Services (CPS) Head epidemiologist Eva Lista de Weever, who confirmed the two additional deaths, said the total number of confirmed cases still stands at 23. The news of the additional deaths comes as efforts are being made by government to institute a total shutdown of the country to force persons to remain at home to further stem the spread of the virus. Prime Minister and Chairperson of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Silveria Jacobs said a total shutdown is being planned due to the trend of increasing COVID-19 fatalities.
