New Year, New Border Rules

Tonight, the biggest news coming out of yesterday's Cabinet brief is that land borders will be reopened January 1st.

That means in 17 days, Belizeans will finally be able to leave the country without having to get on an airplane. Of course, there will be certain health-related requirements and the government is working on fine tuning them before publication.

The land borders have been shut since March 2020, back when the first COVID case was recorded in the country. Since then, they've opened for one way travel only, allowing tourists - who are booked at Gold Standard certified hotels - to enter the country.
