| Even With SOE Lifted, Borders Remain Closed |

| So while all those rules now constitute normal, non-state-of-emergency life in the COVID era, there's one more thing: don't even think that this would be a good time for a Chetumal or Melchor run.
Apart from the fact that cases in Mexico and Guatemala are spiking, the borders remain closed - and there are still stiff penalties for border jumpers:
Hon. Michael Peyrefitte, Attorney General
"I want to make ir very clear; the borders are closed. If you come in illegally, you are committing an offence whether you are a Belizean or not. If you don't have the permission to come in you will be arrested and charge and you could be spending up to 3 months in prison. Why? we want to ensure that the people who are coming into the country are closely monitored, so they don't make the rest of us sick."
