By Aaron Humes: Prime Minister Dean Barrow has announced, effective today, Friday, the lifting of the State of Emergency for the villages of Blue Creek and San Felipe, Orange Walk District.

It was imposed on July 10, 14 days ago, in response to confirming 7 cases of COVID-19 in one family.

The villages were sealed off by law enforcement in order to conduct contact tracing of those related to and in contact with the infected.

But the Director of Health Services Dr. Marvin Manzanero confirmed earlier this week that there are no new cases found in the area and no one else has gotten sick.
