Belize's Patient Zero Could Be Charged
posted (March 26, 2020)

And while the attorney General urges islanders and stranded persons to be patient, he has no patience for the island’s Patient Zero.  She infected her mother - age unknown - and according to authorities - it’s because she did not stick to the rules of self isolation.  The Attorney General says she could face charges:

Hon. Michael Peyrefitte - Attorney General
"We have to determine and we believe that she was warned upon arriving at the airport to immediately inform the Ministry of Health and to immediately self-isolate. By failing to do, she may have committed an offence, we're currently looking at that as we speak and I am telling you, if the evidence lines up that she committed an offence, we will certainly charge her with that offence."
