No Leisure Travel
posted (April 30, 2020)

So, it should strictly business at hotels, because, according to the AG, the government will continue to restrict inter-district travel. Very much like being outside of your homes during non-curfew hours, traveling between districts is being discouraged at this time, and if you must do so, it must be for a valid reason. Here’s how the AG explained why that is the case:

Hon. Michael Peyfitte - Attorney General
"If you are out in the street between 5 AM and 8 PM at night, 5 AM in the morning to 8 PM at night, you must be out to purchase essential needs. You must be attending for medical attention, there must be some sort of emergency, you must be an essential worker or an employee of an approved business. You must be a home health care provider of services to sick people, disabled or elderly persons or to children going to and from work. You must be a person obtaining a service of an approved business or office. In other words then, you still cannot go from Belize City to Belmopan for simply a casual reason. You are not allowed to go finally visit your relatives in Dangriga who you haven't seen in the past 6 weeks, that is still not allowed. If you're laving one district to go to the next district, you must be leaving for one of the purposes that I will read out. There are more purposes for you to leave but you must be leaving for one of those purposes."
