At the announcement of the first COVID-19 infection in Suriname in 2020, Danielle Veira was put in charge of coordinating and managing the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Suriname [5] After mass events were outlawed, her response - "Doe 't! = Do it!" - to a planned tequila party by the youth went viral. [7]

After Antoine Joly, the French ambassador to Suriname, tested positive on 24 March 2020, [8] Veira and some members of her team went into quarantine as they had been in close contact with Joly the previous week. [9] Colonel Jerry Slijngard was appointed as Acting Director in her absence. [9] She returned to resume her duties on 2 April 2020. [10]

On 8 April 2020, the law Exceptional Condition COVID-19 (State of Emergency) was approved by the National Assembly. [11] This law formally authorized the COVID-19 Crisis Management Team, on which Veira served in her capacity as Director of National Security. [12] After the 2020 election, the COVID-19 Crisis Management Team members were replaced on 16 July 2020 by the incoming government. [13]
