    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.

    We appreciate all the feedback and do ask that you bear with us in terms of providing the data in real time.

    We also do note that the common question now is from which geographic area the cases are coming from but as we move along we can anticipate a delay given that this needs to be verified. The infographic does capture where persons show up or are called for a test but that may be different from where the person lives or works.

    For the Stann Creek District, we had 8 cases last night:
    – 2 in Dangriga related to a previously identified case
    – 6 in Independence (1 contact related to San Pedro & 5 related to a tug boat that was engaged in movement of cargo at sea – link to Honduras)

    No single community can let their guard down based on the premise that they have no identified case.

    Stay safe all!
