“The UK government is committed to supporting our Belizean friends and partners through this global crisis. By all of us working together we can all help save lives, protect vital healthcare systems, reduce the risk of future waves of infection globally and, together, work to help mitigate the wider social and economic impacts of COVID-19. In addition, the UK is, with a multi-million-pound commitment, working towards the development of a possible vaccine,” Evans said.
