Another public official under a whole lot of pressure is Manuel Junior
Heredia. The Belize Rural South Rep and San Pedro native has been
widely criticised in his hometown for a variety of failures, including
a suggestion that he permitted the flight which brought COVID unto the
island.
Heredia yesterday told the San Pedro Sun that the attacks have hurt his
family, but his hurt and worry is for his community which he says is
not taking its COVID community spread seriously enough:

"What would you like to say to the island residence that are concerned that
the cases are going up crazily?"
Hon. Manuel Heredia - Area Rep, Belize
"I must say at this point and time that we have to be very clean and
careful of everything because as you know, it is a little out of control. I
believe in the first round of the pandemic people seem to have been more
serious and taking things a lot tougher but nonetheless, this time around
even though we have huge numbers, I can saw little residence on part of a
few people."
