National Child Curfew In Effect
posted (March 25, 2020)

Effective tonight a curfew has been put into effect for all minors. It started in Belize City last week during the declared state of emergency but it has now been put into effect countrywide. The Regulation which was signed today is cited as amendment four to the Families and children act states quote: “Every minor shall be and remain within the confines of private property during the hours of 6:00 pm at night and 6:00 am the following morning unless the minor is accompanied by a parent or guardian.â€￾ 

And Commissioner Chester Williams highlighted how essential the curfew is for the protection of children in a candid shot taken outside of the Racoon Street Police station. The Commissioner along with a group of school-aged children held up signs that said: "With a view to keep all of us safe let us obey the curfew, 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, we are the future.
