Eleven residents and two employees of emergency shelter Goes tested positive | Inland

Six people who tested positive without complaints are in isolation for five days in a separate part of the Zeelandhallen. Six with complaints were transferred to another COA location. They must be in isolation for seven days and may be released if they are free of symptoms for at least 24 hours at the end. The other residents of the emergency shelter can walk around freely, the spokesperson said.

Due to the increasing contamination figures, all residents of the emergency shelter were tested on Friday and Wednesday as a precaution. According to the spokesperson, it is logical that people then test positive. “You would also have that if you tested everyone on the market in Goes.” It is not necessary to test all residents again. “The crisis seems to have been averted. Perhaps we will test again en masse in the winter, when the infection figures rise again,” said the spokesperson.

Upon arrival at the emergency shelter, everyone had tested negative for Covid-19. “So they picked up the infection somewhere in Zeeland. The number of infections in the Netherlands is increasing, so the chance for them to catch it is no different than for other people in the Netherlands,” a COA spokesperson said earlier.
