Belize has done 1,517 tests, and next week it goes to testing 2 times per week, as opposed to three.
But, what about Belize's death rate? How does it compare to our neighbors? Here's a comparison:
Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Service
"When you also do death rate per million, Belize's rate is 5 per million inhabitants. The US has a 305 rate. Mexico has 63, Honduras has 19, the only other country that are similar to us would be Guatemala. El Salvador and Jamaica - they are all at 4,6 and 3 respectively. Mexico yesterday reported for the first amount more than 500 people dying in one single day. 501 people were reported have died in Mexico over the last 24 hours. In the US that number is at 256 in the last 24 hours. Honduras reported 6 deaths associated to Covid-19. El Salvador 1, and Guatemala at 4."
