And while that weather system is coming over the weekend horizon, right here and right now, Belize's COVID numbers continue to spike to new highs daily.

Yesterday 263 samples were processed, and 52 tested positive for COVID 19 - which is about 20%.

35 of those 52 cases were in the Orange Walk District, while 9 were in The Belize District, with 7 of those in Caye Caulker, 1 in Ladyville and one in Belize City. There were 5 cases in the Cayo District, and 3 in the Corozal District.
