No COVID Curve In Belize, Yet
posted (April 21, 2020)
So, there have not been any positive samples taken since last week Sunday, and those results were released on Monday.

So, with no new confirmed cases detected in 8 days, what is the trajectory of Belize's epidemiological curve? When will it peak?

Manzanero said there's really no curve:

Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Services
"We are perhaps not even having a curve because it remained there. It hasn't gone anywhere. If we are able to contain this, assuming we have no cases popping up over the next 7-10 days, then it will have been a wave one if you will. Which means whenever you get exposed to people from outside of Belize, if nobody else shows up - can you have a second wave? Yes and you can have multiple waves down the road and for the next 12 - 18 months."
