No Word On Way Forward After First Wave
posted (May 12, 2020)
29 days has passed without a positive COVID test in Belize, and many are asking what's next? Well, yesterday the National Task Force, chaired by the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition met in a video conference to discuss options for the way forward. And today, Cabinet met to go over those recommendations and make its own deliberations.

But, right now, the final result of those remain Cabinet confidential. The Prime Minister made no national address today, but he is expected to do so tomorrow or, at the latest, Thursday.

And while many are waiting for a further relaxing of the state of Emergency Regulations, we would say, don't get too excited because, the national strategy seems to be that to remain COVID free, Belize needs to keep fairly strict measures in place.

But, what you can expect is a push for domestic tourism to open up - and maybe even some outdoor restaurants. You'll hear about that later on in the news.
