After 53 days of being covid-19 free, the Ministry of Health has confirmed that nineteenth case. This latest case is a 27-year-old who arrived in the country via the Royal Caribbean cruise ship that docked in Belize on May 23. He came in as part of the repatriation process for Belizeans. He is asymptomatic and was detected during a routine testing that is done on everyone placed on mandatory quarantine after entering the country. Earlier this week, the general manager of the Radisson Fort George Hotel told us that the three groups that came into Belize via the different cruise ships were currently quarantined at the hotel. The contact tracing for this case has started along with the process of informing the cruise ship and relevant counterparts.
