Councillor Javier Castellanos Recovering at Home after Testing Positive for COVID-19

On Tuesday, reports started circulating that two Belize City councillors had tested positive for COVID-19 and that one was hospitalized at the K.H.M.H.  When we checked with the city council, they responded that they did not have any knowledge of it.  Today, it seems they did.  Councillor Javier Castellanos did test positive and had been hospitalized. He is now at home fighting COVID-19.  News Five spoke with Public Relations Manager Erin Garnett about this latest positive case at City Hall.
