San Pedro In Sleep Mode
posted (March 24, 2020)

And  the health team has all the space it needs because San Pedro is on a quarantine lockdown.  The busiest island in the land, has been reduced to a ghost town.  That’s after a state of emergency was declared yesterday for Ambergris Caye.

And, according to the our colleague from the san Pedro Sun, the island had “gone ghostâ€￾ today:

Dion Vansen - San Pedro Sun
"There is no life; there is absolutely no signs that of what San Pedro is about. During a day like today, at any time of the year, high tourism season, the streets will be packed with traffic, there will be a lot of tourists walking down the beach, there will be restaurants, the bars, stores, everything will be like - everybody will be doing their jobs and there will be a lot movement when it comes to business. You will see the hustle and bustle of the town, it would be like nonstop. At the moment it's like a ghost town, not a single soul on the street. All the shops are closed, the banks are closed, the town council is closed, so the whole island is on a total lockdown."
