Tonight, only 11 Belizeans have active COVID 19 infections.  And finally, the government is going to start relaxing some of the lockdown restrictions.  

More on that in a minute, but first to the latest results released after 8:00 last night.  It shows three more recovered patients - bringing the Toal number to 5, and no one in the hospital.

In an address this afternoon, the Prime Minister outlined the encouraging news from the testing results so far:

Rt.Hon. Dean Barrow - Prime Minister
"There has been no new positive since Monday, April 13th. There were the two lamentable deaths; but no other of the 18 cases originally diagnosed is even in hospital. In point of fact, five are now pronounced as fully recovered, and all the others are at home recovering are at home recovering. The fact is though that we appear for now to have contained the clusters that arose particularly in San Ignacio and Belize City. This, of course, is no reason to let our guard down. Indeed, the opposite is true."
