And while those are the partial numbers for today, last night's most updated figures included the results from 164 samples. There were 23 positives from that group and Dr. Manzanero gave the breakdown:

Dr. Marvin Manzanero, DHS
"The total of 164 samples it included 3 of our contact tracing team at the Western Regional Hospital we said that from the Sunday, I know there was some concern whether patients would be exposed through that mechanism these are not persons who are seeing patients or who are routinely inside the hospital setting, these are persons who are doing the contact tracing and doing the mapping exercise on the ground so that is the 3 persons who we have detected from the Sunday that came out in the infographic yesterday we had further 6 cases in San Pedro, 1 in Orange Walk, 4 in Corozal, 4 in Cayo but that includes as I had mentioned the persons from Belmopan that are linked to health and 8 in Belize City."
