At the top of the news, we told you about the situation out west, where three Guatemalans were intercepted, and they were being driven by a Belizean. The Commissioner said the driver would also face charges, and now a press release has been issued to confirm that.
It came out minutes ago and says, quote, "On Friday...a team of police officers intercepted a vehicle with four persons, three of whom were Guatemalan nationals and the other a Belizean...The men were taken to the San Ignacio Community Hospital to be swabbed for COVID-19 per the Ministry of Health's protocol. The Guatemalans were taken to the Western Border where Immigration issued them an Order to Leave and ensured they went across the border. The results were made available late in the evening of June 16th and yielded a positive case for one of the Guatemalan nationals.
The Belizean who was found in their company remains in mandatory quarantine. Upon completion of quarantine, he will be charged by Immigration for harboring illegal immigrants." End quote.
