The latest COVID numbers realised this afternoon show that Belize has 730 total confirmed COVID cases, with 672 active cases.

The 129 samples tested yesterday returned 17 new positive cases: 9 in the Corozal District, 4 in the Orange Walk District, 2 in Belize City, and 2 in the Cayo district.

There were also 3 recovered cases: 1 in Chan Chen, Corozal; 1 in Belmopan, 1 in Cayo and 1 from Orange Walk.

Notably, there are 454 cases currently under investigation.

The Ministry of health also reports that it is investigating another suspect case who died in Orange Walk. This is presumably Teresita Cruz, the younger sister of San Felipe resident Natalio Wicab who died on Saturday night from COVID 19 complications. She died last night while having breathing difficulties and her family strongly suspects it's COVID 19.
