And, on the issue of COVID, we did ask Dr. Maznanero about the latest numbers which seem to be trending down:

"So, like over the 4 day weekend, I did the calculation and I said, wow it's under 10 percent and then on Tuesday night, we get 18% return. Are we seeing a downward trend?"
Dr. Marvin Manzanero, DHS
"So, in August you were having most of the time, double digits in terms of percentage probability, total percentage rate. As high was 37%, some days 34%, consistently above 20% and yes in September we started with around 18, 20, 23, it started to go down for about 7 to 10 days of this month we have had under 10% which is single digits and you are right, it jumped again and that's why yesterday's note, we said we are monitoring the situation in Corozal and Orange Walk closely because if you note, the majority of numbers are coming from there. I still know we have clusters in Stann Creek, Toledo and Cayo, some are very big, so most of the activities happening in Orange Walk and Corozal. Corozal is starting to contribute more numbers when you look at overall percentage. I think the team had also said that we are over that, it has plateaued, we can say that much, it's no longer an ascending curve, it seem to have plateaued."
