Movement Within Orange Walk to be Restricted

Dean Barrow

There is no lockdown for all of the north, however, specific communities, including Guinea Grass, Shipyard and Santa Marta will see an extension to the confinement for safety that they are already experiencing.  As a result, travel within Orange Walk District will be restricted going forward and movement within district lines is pending review.

Prime Minister Dean Barrow

“Of course, the villages that are already on lockdown will continue and later on you will see that we are moving a motion to extend the state of emergency generally giving us the ability to prolong the lockdown in Ambergris Caye, in Guinea Grass, in Shipyard, in Santa Marta.  So to that extent intra-district travel is limited to Orange Walk, but again, this business of movement across the district line so that nobody from outside of Orange Walk can enter the district, nobody from Orange Walk can leave the district.  That is not on at the present time.  I repeat, it’s a matter for continuing review.”
