And while those professions seem to be COVID-prone, two other COVID hotspots are Bella Vista in the banana belt, and the Belize Central prison in Hattieville.

7 new cases were reported out of Kolbe this past weekend and Manzanero says they have to go back to do more tests.

Here's his assessment of both those areas:

Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Services
"The team met earlier today to discuss what we are going to do with the prison situation and I believe there is a team going back to review what has happened at prison tomorrow and to see if we can go and continue the further sweep of the remaining tangos Thursday of Friday. And of course we are monitoring the situation with the banana growers association and the banana farm owners who have been willing to work with the team from southern health region to ensure that we don't have any more cases as we move along."
