But, you won't go to jail if you're an essential service provider or employee travelling inter - district. That's right, one feature of regular life that's returning on Sunday is public transport. Buses, water taxi's and domestic flights will be able to move - provided everyone on board is on a specific essential mission, and wears a mask.

Peyrefitte explained the limited inter district movement - which is not for recreational or non-essential travel:

Hon. Michael Peyrefitte, Attorney General
"Public transportation providers will now be allowed to operate again. When I say public transportation providers I am talking about busses, water taxis, the planes like Maya or Tropic, they can now move, but let me make a clarification again: if you are traveling on a water taxi, bus or a small plane, you still can't leave Belize City to casually go and hang out at the Split in Caye Caulker this Sunday. We are not there yet. You can only use that to go to Caye Caulker if you have one of the things I read earlier, if you are going there for an essential purpose, medical reasons or something that you have to do."
