There was an extensive cleanup campaign in the city over the weekend. As we reported health officials met with the Belize City Council in early February to discuss the threats of the Zika Virus and what the council's role is in keeping Belize Zika free. Now while there are no confirmed cases of Zika in Belize, the team must still protect against other diseases such as Dengue. So both the Central Health Region and the City Council assumed their roles by organizing a cleanup campaign in areas known as high risk for transmission of Dengue. Those areas include Central American Boulevard area, Mahogany Street, Tibruce Street and Haulover Creek. After the two days of cleanup, the team pulled away 16 truckloads of waste from these areas. They plan on organizing another cleanup campaign for next weekend.
