Carnival-Style March to Burying Ground in Belize City

A funeral procession in Belize City this afternoon took on characteristics of a carnival road march. Information suggests that the deceased was a prominent member of the carnival celebration community, Andrea Bowen. Questions arise, however, as to the safety and legality of such an activity. Notably, police officers were not present at the procession, and a number of participants were unmasked throughout. COVID-19 regulations still mandate that funeral services be limited to ten persons or less.
