A Group of Belizeans Repatriated

A group of Belizeans was repatriated into the country today. About fifteen Belizeans entered through the northern border with Mexico. We understand that they flew from Houston in the U.S. to Cancun before touching down in Chetumal. They arrived this morning and were met by Ministry of Health and Foreign Affairs officials. The repatriates were screened and swabbed for the novel coronavirus. They were then taken to the Ho’kol Kin Hotel in Corozal Town where they will remain in quarantine for fourteen days. It is expected that they will be tested for a second time near the end of the quarantine. A second group will be arriving at the P.G.I.A. on Friday.
