COVID-19 Numbers by Community

And while the cases have been concentrated largely in the north and the city, including San Pedro, these latest stats show that the virus is spreading across the country – with numbers trickling in for small communities. Tonight, the south remains with the least number of cases – with Toledo recording only one case and that individual is a recovered border jumper, followed by Stann Creek with seven cases. On the other end of the spectrum, the cases are rising in the northern villages. Minister of Health Pablo Marin provided the numbers during today’s House meeting.
