The Blatant Disregard for Physical Distancing, Social Gathering Limit in San Pedro

Tourism Minister and area representative for Belize Rural South, Manuel Heredia Junior is coming under fire tonight.  Videos and pictures of him and his family show them on their veranda in San Pedro, the epicentre of the virus, literally handing down “assistance” to residents using a string.  The video and pictures have sparked outrage as they show the blatant disregard for measures put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.   The six feet physical distancing required by law is not being practiced as the large crowd of persons converged on the street.  Additionally, the individuals are not wearing their masks properly. The twenty-five person limit for social gatherings was also ignored, all in front of the house of the minister.
