After almost 2 weeks in the hospital, Ingrid Vega, the wife of late PUP area rep David "Dido" Vega, was discharged today. It's the best Christmas gift for a family that has lost their husband and father to COVID-19. Ingrid Vega was not even able to attend her husband's funeral ten days ago since she was in intensive care at the time.
But in a near miracle - she has rebounded and was released from Belize Healthcare Partners' COVID unit today after being in therapy for the past few days.
Dido Vega, Corozal Bay's area representative passed away on December 11, the same day he was to be sworn into the House of Representatives. The party is now preparing for a by-election and Vega's sister, Elvia, has expressed strong interest in running.
