    PRESS RELEASE

    Ministry of Health Identifies 15 Cases of COVID-19

    Belmopan. August 4, 2020. 9:45 p.m.

    Fifteen new cases of COVID-19 have been identified today as a result of the contact tracing of cases identified over the weekend. These cases are part of a record number of 148 samples processed in one day. The new cases are as follows.

    Seven cases have been identified in Corozal. Seven cases have been detected in Orange Walk. San Pedro now has one new case.

    Five cases are from the repatriation process and these persons are under quarantine orders. Two of the cases in Corozal are linked to the case identified over the weekend and three cases in Orange Walk are tied to the case identified in that district over the weekend. The remaining five cases appear to be unrelated; however, contact tracing is currently ongoing for possible links.

    For now, the Ministry of Health calls on the entire nation to remain calm and to only listen to official sources of information. The Ministry will continue to update the public as information becomes available.

    The public is reminded to maintain social distancing, practice good hand hygiene, and properly wear masks at all times in public settings. For health-related inquiries, call 0-800-MOH-CARE.

    covid-19 updated 05-05-2020

    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.

    This is the 7th since we first diagnosed a first case of COVID-19 and it is therefore important to be on the lookout for data as it evolves.

    We are going into a 4th week since our last case was diagnosed but we CANNOT lose sight of the fact that our neighbours are having escalating numbers in terms of cases and deaths.

    In graphs below, do take a close look at the official numbers are presented by IDB with data/calculations from the European CDC with country data.

    We also note the call to ‘test, test, test’ and note the comparison with other countries in the Latin American Region.
