Earlier in the week, we told you about incursions across Belize's closed southern borders. Two persons were caught crossing that border, but, now, a 23-year-old Guatemalan woman has been caught in Punta Gorda town. Police apprehended Yesenia Neomi Hernandez Lima at a house in the town told the cops that she's been in the country for 2 months, a claim that they can neither prove nor disprove because she had no passports or documents of legal entry only an identification card.
Still, she was detained as a precautionary measure and taken to Punta Gorda Town Hospital for a mandatory COVID-19 test. She was later moved to the Town's Sporting Complex where she remains in quarantine - with others - until her test results come back. Thereafter Hernandez is expected to face immigration-related charges.
