And, of the three unvaccinated deaths tonight - one of them is another maternal death. She is immigrant, Cindy Hermann Flowers, a property manager and resident of Placencia - well known in the village - and she made no secret of her anti - vaxx stance.
She passed away at the Belize Healthcare Partners clinic this morning due complications caused by COVID-19. She'd checked into to the clinic to give birth to her newborn son but ended up on a ventilator, and passed away a few days after his birth. The newborn s reportedly doing fine.
The mother of four had been vocal on social media about her stance on what she called medical freedom with her Facebook profile picture stating her wish to, quote: "Stop the mandate."
And in a reply post, she expressed her opinion on the vaccine and why she hadn't taken it during her pregnancy. In it she said quote: "Encouraging pregnant women saying it's safe. I'll pass. The unknown versus the slim chance I'll get Covid. I'll side with COVID." end quote.
Another notable COVID case is that of Leader of the Opposition, Patrick Faber's mother. Career educator BETTY BROWN POTT was reportedly hospitalised today with COVID. The senior citizen had reportedly been vaccinated. The UDP is asking for prayers for her recovery.
