Three of the men are residents of Calla Creek village while the other two, Salazar and Santos, are from Santa Elena and Benque Viejo respectively.

Arrangements are being made to swab them at San Ignacio's Polyclinic, after which they will be charged for illegally entering the country. They face 3 months in prison.

And while they may not have the Corona Virus police confirm that that they did have Corona beers.
