Bonaire is doing pretty well, now.
They went from 10 positive results in early Sept to 131 in early October, but have not had any additional since 9 October. That is good news.
The daily status is available at their master website: Crisiswebsite van het Openbaar Lichaam Bonaire - Crisiswebsite van het Openbaar Lichaam Bonaire
Today's status looks like this:
Their Positivity Rate (positive tests/total tests) rose rapidly from 1.93% to 3.11% around 19 Sept, and they announced a 10-day 'light lockdown" to start on 21 Sept. Their 3-day average number of new infections rose from about 3 just before the lockdown to over 8 in the middle of the lockdown, to 3 at the end of the lockdown. The lockdown included stopping tourist flights to the island, from everywhere.
The positivity rate is now dropping slowly from a high of 5.95% during the lockdown.
Their open/closing/restrictions plans are based on 6 levels of crisis and the associated risk. At the lowest level, it is a caution/vigilance status. At the highest level, it is basically a total lockdown. As of Oct 21, effective tomorrow Oct 26, they are moving from level 4 (serious) to level 3 (threatening), and are slowly opening up some tourist traffic. They clearly are prepared to shut it off again if the numbers start climbing.
