Belize Delays Re-Opening Due to COVID Spike

The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) has announced the country has delayed its reopening due to a spike in COVID cases.

The country is experiencing an increase in COVID-19 cases, and in a press conference held last week, the Prime Minister of Belize, Rt. Hon. Dean O. Barrow, in an overabundance of caution, announced that it was necessary to delay the re-opening of the Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE), which was scheduled for August 15, 2020.

The Prime Minister also said they are continually assessing risks and working with partners to create protocols to ensure a safe environment for residents and guests when international visitation resumes.
