Earlier in the news, we showed you how Belize City's hurricane shelters had stalled in opening with residents perhaps choosing to stay home rather than risk contracting coronavirus in a crowded shelter. But what's happening in San Pedro - which is the COVID epicentre, and the first large community which will feel the effect of the storm? Right now, it's less than 75 east southeast of San Pedro.
Our colleague from the San Pedro Sun Dion Vansen tells us that shelters there are open and receiving people, and there are also COVID shelters for those who are infected or awaiting their results. He also gave us his view of how tropical storm NANA is shaping up so far.
Since our call, Dion has reported that drizzling has started on San Pedro, but no significant winds to talk about.
