By Benjamin Flowers: Minister of Health and Wellness, Kevin Bernard, says that health authorities are prepared for the re-opening of the country’s land borders next week.

Bernard said today that he hopes the re-opening will go smoothly but, ultimately, the ministry has its team and protocols in place for the reopening to be as safe as possible.

“We are prepared at the Ministry of Health…” Bernard said. “Somebody asked me yesterday if I think Belizeans will flock to the northern border on Monday, I doubt that. A lot of Belizeans are still wary of traveling across the border.”

He reiterated today that only fully vaccinated Belizeans are allowed to travel through the land borders, which will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

There will also be a requirement to take a COVID-19 test that costs $100, for anyone who will overnight when traveling through the land borders.

Mexico has been awaiting the resumption of Belizeans since the borders closed in 2020, noting that they have been losing millions of dollars in revenue each month due to the absence of Belizean shoppers. See full story here.
