In the month of June, Suriname witnessed a surge in COVID-19 cases as 75 new infections were registered, along with 3 unfortunate deaths due to the virus. These disturbing figures were revealed by the official COVID-19 website of the Surinamese government, indicating a worrisome trend in the battle against the pandemic.
Furthermore, the data highlights that 32 individuals were admitted to hospitals during the same period, with 2 people requiring intensive care treatment. As the number of infections continues to rise, it becomes crucial for individuals experiencing flu-like symptoms to discern whether it is caused by the common flu or by COVID-19. This can only be established through administering a COVID-19 test.
Flu manifests in various forms, and with the ongoing prevalence of COVID-19 infections, health officials strongly advise individuals displaying flu symptoms to undergo testing. Only by obtaining accurate test results can one truly determine the nature of their illness.

Authorities emphasize the importance of individuals reporting these symptoms to immediately seek medical attention and get tested for COVID-19. By following this protocol, individuals can safeguard their health and the health of those around them.
As Suriname faces this concerning surge in COVID-19 cases, it is crucial for the public to remain vigilant and adhere to preventive measures such as wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and practicing good hygiene. These measures are essential in curbing the spread of the virus and protecting the vulnerable members of the community.
In light of the recent update, it is imperative for the public to stay informed and continue to follow the guidance provided by health authorities and the government. By working together and supporting one another, Suriname can overcome this challenging phase and emerge stronger in the fight against this global health crisis.]
