Things are looking up with Sunday’s announcement of the number of active continuing their decline. But the health officials warn the pandemic isn’t over—and what we do every day makes all the difference.
With the number of coronavirus cases declining in the island and local businesses and residents eager to get all restrictions lifted, Volunteer Ministers from the Freewinds urge application of the basic principles of prevention. “This is something everyone can do to help the island get back to normal while keeping themselves and their friends and families well, it is within our power to stop the pandemic by everyone following the protocols completely ” say the volunteers.
Taking this as a sign of progress the Freewinds Volunteers work hand in hand with the Aruba Firemen reaching into each area of the community where many gather daily, starting with schools and churches and moving into gyms, supermarkets, clinics and more. Making sure these areas are sanitized with Decon 7, the strongest sanitizing product available in the market today, and shown videos on prevention protocols.
The owner of the Hardcore Gym, Giovanni Arendsz, expressed his appreciation: “These videos are really well done and I will definitely share this important information.” “Thank you very much Freewinds for thinking of me and for your help! It is very appreciated and you are helping the community so much!”
To make this prevention information broadly available, the Church of Scientology published three educational booklets: How to Keep Yourself & Others Well, How to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation.
Yenifer Zavala was one of the Freewinds Volunteer Ministers who distributed some 97,000 Stay Well booklets in the island of Aruba, handing them out to schools, churches, restaurants and shops for their parishioners, students and customers.
“When it’s a natural catastrophe like a flood, there’s an immediate impact,” says Yenifer. “Now the impact continues to ripple out for who knows how long. As a crew member of the Freewinds, I know anything I do to keep the island safe also keeps our public and crew of the Freewinds safe. Everyone’s actions affect everyone else in this pandemic, so it’s important that people understand exactly what they can do to keep it from spreading, this is why we continue to work diligently to sanitize and get the prevention information out in the community.”
