And while the unemployed are waiting for COVID funds for their relief,
those stranded on San Pedro have FINALLY been getting a break to leave
the island after being stuck there for two weeks.
The approved exodus from San Pedro started from the weekend and
continued this morning when boatloads of mainlanders were screened,
approved for passage, and allowed to return to shore. Those from the
Cayo district, were told to remain on the island - since no one can
enter or exit that district.
And this morning, one more boatload of 69 persons pushed off from San
Pedro and when they entered the City Cherisse Halsall learned what it
was like to be stranded in San Pedro:
It is expected that two other boats - all with approved manifests -
will leave the island between tomorrow and Saturday.
