    Commisioner of Police Chester Williams posted this message on his personal Facebook page.

    “I drove around the city tonight and the amount of people I had to tell to put on their mask or to wear it properly is no joke. I could have easily arrested over 100 persons. I cannot understand why some amongst us just don’t listen or don’t give a darn. What will it take for them to understand the severity of this virus and the importance of wearing a mouth and nose covering?”

    Update on Daycare Closures

    Daycare Closure in Belize

    The Ministry of Human Development, Social Transformation and Poverty Alleviation advises the public that under the current regulations, daycares are permitted to operate; however, an amendment will be made to the current statutory instrument to include daycares in the list of businesses prohibited from operating under the current state of emergency. Therefore, daycares will remain closed until further notice.

    While daycares will not be permitted to operate, babysitters will be allowed to work by going to a person’s home or caring for a child in their home.

    As the country slowly begins to resume operations, the Ministry acknowledges the difficulty caused by this decision and asks the public for its continued understanding as these precautions are being taken in the best interest of children and communities during this global pandemic.

    COVID – 19 Current Update:

    This is our data for today.

    We can now confirm that our last two active cases have recovered as their second test is now negative!

    We however, need to continue to exercise the preventive measures across all sectors as the numbers with our neighbours continue to go up.

    Neighbouring Guatemala up to yesterday has reported 730 cases with 46 cases being in the Eastern (includes Peten) part of Guatemala and the neigbhouring state of Quintana Roo is reporting 956 cases up until midday today with a total of 24 cases in the neighbouring municipality of Othon P. Blanco (Chetumal included in this data).

    We need a community effort as we move along to prevent any more cases of COVID-19.
