Community Spread Confirmed In North

And while that situation in Bella Vista is still considered a cluster - up north, it's confirmed community spread.

Yesterday's 415 tests showed 47 new cases from the Corozal District and 20 from the Orange Walk District.

Manzanero said the pattern over many weeks in this districts is consistent with community spread:

Jules Vasquez, reporter
"With this high number of with this high return on tests that we saw last night, would you say that Belize, that various communities across Belize are now at a point of community spread?"

Dr. Marvin Manzanero, DHS
"I would say that in Orange Walk and Corozal yes but in Orange Walk and Corozal it does seem to be more a community spread situation not so in Belize City yet but I can get there yes."
