Though we requested this person be flown back to the U.S., ironic that the The Belize government denied the request to allow the person to evacuate using their airport….At least some countries are clearly taking this seriously and taking care of it’s citizens…
The Belize government turned down a request by the United States to evacuate the worker through the international airport in Belize City.
“We remain in close contact with U.S. officials … we have maintained the position that when even the smallest doubt remains, we will ensure the health and safety of the Belizean people,” the government said in a statement.
