Today on Ask The experts, Dr. Marvin Manzanero gave an overview of how many Belizeans have applied to be repatriated:

Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Service
"I think it's close to 500 people that now enlisted and we have all kinds of persons in that list students, people who were on duty travel on training, people who had to leave because of funeral or family emergency, a surprising amount of people. Tourists or people who were working in other countries quit their jobs and just coming back home. Some I think are stuck in Cancun or in Chetumal because we haven't gone through that process. I know there is somebody that is specifically coming from the African continent and by the time we were alerted the person was already in Cancun. Again, we are trying to expedite the process to make sure that it is a proper flow and everybody is aligned. I do know that the full process of getting all our i's dotted and out t's cross, amongst all the ministries have not been completed."
