By BBN Staff: A total of 712 passengers arrived in Belize since the Phillip S. W. Goldson International Airport (PGIA) re-opened on Thursday, October 1st 2020. According to the Government of Belize, this marks the third phase of Belize’s re-opening strategy, and nationals, permanent residents and tourists are now able to re-enter Belize via the PGIA.

All passengers who arrive via the PGIA are required to bring along a negative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test, or are subject to the Ministry of Health’s rapid test system that operates at the airport. All passengers are required to follow the arrival protocols put in place for the successful re-opening of the airport. So far only one of the 712 arriving passengers have tested positive for COVID-19.

In a press release earlier today, the National Oversight Committee (NOC) thanked all who worked diligently to ensure the successful reopening of the Philip Goldson International Airport (PGIA). The NOC states that it “especially recognizes the efforts of the staff of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, the Belize Tourism Board, the Customs and Immigration departments, the Belize Airport Concession Company and the National Task Force in accomplishing this herculean task”.
