Blue Creek and San Felipe Under Lockdown

On Friday night we told you how 3 new cases of COVID-19 detected in border jumpers from Blue Creek had prompted fears of community spread and led to a state of emergency being declared for Both Blue Creek and San Felipe villages in the northwestern Orange Walk District.

Well, last night in a facebook post, the Director of Health Services Marvin Manzanero warned that more cases should be expected.

Those villages remain on curfew and lockdown enforced by a heavy police presence. This morning ACP Joseph Myvette told the media that the only thing coming in or out is poultry and corn.
