Over the weekend, three persons who conduct contact tracing tested positive for the corona virus. Today, four more police officers have tested positive for COVID-19. These two officers join a growing number of colleagues and other frontline workers who have tested positive. The police officers work in Belize City and San Pedro. Today ComPol Chester Williams says, however, that the officers who have the virus are doing well and a few are recovering.

“The majority of those of those officers are in San Pedro. I am on a blog with them. They remain in a very high spirit and we continue to do what we can to ensure that they are taken care of. I think two of them were cleared on Friday and I believe at the end of this week some more will be cleared. Many of them are saying that they are feeling much better now. However, I must say that we have had at least four more who tested positive over the weekend; two in San Pedro and two in Belize City. So, we are going to see how that works out. The officer in Belize City who tested positive, his wife tested positive about a week ago so we anticipated that he may have it as well. So, he too is in quarantine as well and then we see where we go from there.”
