Tonight, there are new COVID time regulations - contained in statutory instrument, #96 of 2021 - which came into force today. This one extends the daily 4:00 am to 9:00 pm curfew for the entire month of September.
The major change is that restaurants can now open a little later - presumably to accommodate the tourist industry.
Employers and staff of restaurants will now be allowed one extra hour after curfew to get home - so, instead of closing at 8:00, they can keep their doors open a little longer.
Also, the definition of front-line workers has been expanded yet again - to include "personnel and staff of the Coast Guard". Also, paragraph D from regulation 2 has been deleted, and it now refers to_ "personnel and staff of the Belize Defence Force".
