So now, with cases 7 and 8 - both not linked directly to any imported
case - can we finally pronounce that there is community spread of CVOID
19 in Belize? That's what we asked Manzanero today, but he didn't seem
quite ready to make that concession:
Dr. Marvin Manzanero - Director of Health Services
"We can now say clearly and definitively we have community, clearly and
definitively is a strong words, it seems to indicate so and the mapping
exercise we will complete with patient number 8 would guide us to that
because it's not also how they became ill, the potential of them having
infected others, who are the asymptomatic carries that have sought or
will never seek medical attention. I think that is something our
mapping exercise today for patient number 8 will be to see."
