 The grant is valued at $80,490 Belize dollars.

The Government of Belize says that it continues work to minimize morbidity through a robust multilingual informational campaign tailored to the Belizean public.

“In line with the Belize Interim National COVID-19 Plan, the grant will be used to support the dissemination of accurate and up-to-date information through social media, printed media, and infomercial campaigns to ensure that the Belizean public is aware of the health and safety efforts being taken, and to help ensure that myths and rumors which abound are minimized,” the Government noted.
