posted (August 6, 2020)

This morning, National Security CEO George Lovell was asked about the actual enforcement and monitoring of the Belizeans who will be required to wear these tracking bracelets. He said that there will be a group of officials who will be assigned to ensure that Belizeans follow the rule of the tracking bracelet and the quarantine at home:

George Lovell - Acting CEO, Ministry of National Security

"We had the discussions at Taskforce level, and I sit on the National Taskforce for COVID. I can tell you that one of the suggestions was that we would have to have a dedicated staff for the monitoring of these facilities, and that can be had at the control centre, where we already have a control centre with monitors and so at the Police department. And so, our idea of monitoring these devices is to have a dedicated staff to do so, and they need to do so 24/7. Yes, the police will be required to work hand in hand with that staff because enforcement is a matter for the police department."
