The person is a senior officer in the Santa Elena offices of the Ministry of Works and a close associate of the Minister of Works, Rene Montero, and one of his administrative staff in Belmopan.

As a precautionary measure, the Ministry of Works branch in Santa Elena sent home their staff this morning and closed their offices for sanitization.

The Department of Transport, Cayo branch, also has their office in the MOW compound in Santa Elena, and as a result the transport officers there were also sent home today.
