As you heard, today's results show 16 new cases from the Orange Walk District, including in Orange Walk Town, August Pine Ridge, San Felipe, Yo Creek, San Lazaro, San Jose Palmar, and San Estevan.
That's in addition to 15 over the weekend. So, does the Orange Walk District have community spread? Dr. Manzanero said a team went from Belmopan to that District to try and arrest just that:
Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Services
"It would seem that Orange Walk seem to have a similar situation as Ambergris Caye. I do know that we are tallying numbers for all the different villages so that we can give that to minister for cabinet tomorrow to make other decisions that need to be made. I know particular they are looking at the community of San Felipe, August Pine Ridge and Blue Creek for potential situations that may be there. The team that's out in Orange Walk today looking specifically for those communities that may have higher infection rates. I think that may take your curve up a little bit higher."
