In Suriname, 349 new corona infections and 1 death were recorded in November. The new cases were found mainly in people from Paramaribo (131) and Wanica (47).
This can be seen from the latest data update on the COVID-19 official website of the Surinamese government. The data also shows that 41 people ended up in hospitals and 1 in intensive care.
The number of Covid-19 infections has been on the rise again in Suriname since October. In addition there are also cases of flu that occur frequently in this period, but the distinction between flu and Covid-19 can only be made through a Covid-19 test.
The flu comes in different variations and with the increase in the number of infections from Covid-19 it is strongly recommended to swab if you have symptoms and / or signs of the flu. Only by testing will you know what it really is.
Symptoms and/or signs:
- Fever (at least 37.5°C) without markedly different focus (or feeling feverish)
- Cough
- Loss of taste or smell
- Muscle aches or pains with no other apparent cause
- Diarrhea or vomiting
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Chills of cold
- shortness of breath
- Sore throat
- Confusion
- Headache (relatively often retro-orbital)
- A runny nose
