Will US Tourists Follow Mask Protocol?
posted (June 25, 2020)

And while returning Belizeans may have to cool their heels in quarantine, what may be even more of a challenge is getting US visitors to wear masks. If you follow the news, you'll know that many Americans reject wearing a mask as a fetter on their individual freedom.

Well, the PM says if that's the way they feel about it, please stay home:

Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow - Prime Minister

"You assume that those that will be coming want to come and so, the conditionalities that we are attaching to their coming that will prove too onerous to people who really do want to come and we don't want to exaggerate, what we will be asking of them is not in my view, so particularly burdensome that such a dramatic invasion of privacy that they will be any push back. If there is push back, it will mean that those people who are not prepared in fact to countenance what we're asking, simply won't come."
