But it’s allowed to wander around in the city or town that you are staying in, as was announced by our former Prime Minister honorable Dean Barrow in a publication in 2020.

A Message to all travelers.
As a traveler you want to get out of your house after these months of COVID-19 lockup… but going out of the country adds an extra level of worry…
Q; “Will the services in Belize be up to par with my desire for safety and fun at the same time??”
We at William’s Belize shuttle have been a trendsetter in the Belizean transfer sector for years and have made the vehicles safe for you the traveler as well as the driver.
As Belize opens up, and worries about the traveler may be coming with an unwanted gift, you might have the same worries about our driver and companies care about COVID-19 safety??
The Belize Tourism Board and Ministry of Health recommended to NOT use the AC option during the transfer with travelers and leave the windows open…. Due to this suggestion and our experience of 12 years we knew that this would not be an option in our, at times too warm and at times rainy country Hence we installed in all vehicles a COVID-19 shield of such an airproof level that it keeps any airflow completely within the 2 separate compartments. (Imagine what you might have experienced in New York taxis??)
Still being able to offer AC to keep us all cool during the drive and for a while you’re even able to take off the “dreaded” mask during the drive after having it on from the time you left your home and landed in Belize.
We clean and disinfect our vehicles before and after the drive with atomizers and Lysol disinfectants… To absolutely minimize any risk.
We will be happy to bring you to and/or from your location(s) while you are in Belize…
See you soon…
