Last night's latest COVID figures show 17 positive cases coming out of 91 samples tested. Three of those positives are in the Cayo District between San Ignacio and Benque Viejo, one is in Belize City, and 13 are from the Orange Walk District broken down between Orange Walk Town, San Felipe and San Jose.
There are now 1,118 confirmed cases since March, with 850 of them currently active. Fifteen cases were determined to have recovered yesterday.
As we told you earlier on the news, there are two more deaths bringing that total to 15.
That was last night, and today on Ask The Experts, Dr. Manzanero discussed the latest figures which came out this evening:
Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Services
"In terms of the preliminary data for today it's pending of course for it to be reviewed 265 samples, 34 positive cases and I say preliminary because the lab will only put it out as a positive case. It could very well be that once you go back to the data you find out that the person has already been diagnose and is only a person that remains positive after a given amount of days, that's why you always have to cross check to make sure that these are in point of fact new cases."
Tonight, the latest figures show 261 samples processed 261 today with 34 of them positive. Four in the Corozal District, 2 in Patchakan, and 2 in Cristo Rey. 9 in the Cayo District, 5 of those in Benque Viejo, one in Santa Elena, 2 San Ignacio, 1 in Yalbac, and 6 in the Stann Creek District. One from the Toledo District who is originally from Belize City, and in the Belize District, 14 cases including Belize City, Burrell Boom, Ladyville, Lord's Bank, Caye Caulker, and Biscayne.
