Cabinet approved the reopening of maritime borders for yachting tourism. The reopening does come with conditions including adherence to public health safety protocols, which means that crew and passengers must present a negative COVID-19 test to enter Belize. Port Commissioner Retired Major Gilbert Swaso says that the reopening of the maritime borders for tourism requires efficient, safe boarding and vessel clearance practices. While that’s one more border entry point that the country has opened, the Guatemalans in Melchor de Mencos are calling for the Belizean government to reopen the western border. Like Chetumal, Melchor relies heavily on Belizeans for their economy. The Guatemalans in the border community are planning a protest on Monday. When asked about the timeline for reopening land borders, Prime Minister John Briceño says it won’t happen until vaccines are acquired.
