Meeting today on Covid-19

The Caye Caulker Village Council cordially invite all grocery store owners and hotel/ accommodation owners to an URGENT meeting to update the owners on the role they can play in the preventative measures and preparations of the impending threats of Covid-19. The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow Sunday 15th, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. at the Community Center. Please make an effort to attend.

To date, there are still no confirmed cases of Corona Virus in Belize. However, If you are ill with cough, fever, sore throat and have concerns about Corona Virus, the Caye Caulker Village Council and Medical Clinics have proactively created a number you can call to ask advice from nursing staff.

We strongly encourage if you, your family members, or someone you have come in contact with have had recent travel to areas with a large number of Corona Virus cases, (and you are presenting with symptoms), that you please call this (Non-Emergency Triage) number FIRST before visiting the clinics or pharmacies. This is advised so as to prevent contamination to other sick people waiting to be attended and to all health care workers. Appropriate guidance will then be followed from that point.

Again, please use this number to ask questions ONLY as it relates to Corona Virus symptoms. If you feel ill and realize you can safely recover (and self isolate at home), that is still the best plan for you and the health of others. This hotline can be used to help you safely recover at home.

This number is to answer Corona Virus symptoms questions only and NOT to be used for emergency purposes.
Caye Caulker Corona Virus (Non-emergency triage/ information number): 600 9539.
