But, for the time being, the centre of the spread is San Pedro town. And, today the ministry of health said it had tracked that island town's numbers to three clusters. The first cluster is related to patient #57, an expatriate female who was infected many persons. A release says, out of the cluster, 42% of the active cases on the island are linked to activities at the Allure Nightclub from July 16 - 19th. If you were there and have symptoms, you are urged to call the Ministry of Health hotlines.
- The second cluster on the island is related to the Living Word Church. The number of confirmed and suspected (symptomatic) cases are being linked to a church service there around mid-July. And, the third cluster is comes from the Medina's Construction pool of workers - many of them from Orange Walk. A press release says, that site represents the highest risk because of the high number of people who have since left the island. And that's why everyone from that site remain in strict isolation wherever they may be for the next 14 days, and should any symptoms develop, they should also call the hotline at 0-800-MOH-CARE.
And, generally, all persons who were on San Pedro mid-July and after, and are developing signs and symptoms, are asked to please call the nearest health facility for guidance and remain in self-isolation.
