But Belmopan Medical Center isn't the only workplace to confirm a positive case. That's because Protel BPO, a call center in Belize City is also among those businesses who've confirmed a positive case. And while the dangers of closed quartered workplaces has been a concern since the pandemic's onset, PROTEL says the case judiciously managed.
The company says that the employee, who picked up the virus in San Pedro, was only on the premises during one workday - which was Monday August third, and while there this employee was confined to one specific area. That night, the employee got the call from the Ministry of Health him and said he or she needed to be tested. At that point he was told not to return to work.
The employee informed the company of his positive status on Friday, August 7th. Thereafter the company says it moved swiftly, sending most of its employees to work at home and following up with a thorough sanitization of the premises.
