According to Honduras’s National Risk Management System [Sistema Nacional de Gestión de Riesgos - SINAGER] the number of COVID-19 cases on Roatan has risen to 127.
The healthy Roatanians who were forced to isolate for 40 days are now implementing “don’t ask don’t tell” policy as they reopen their business and attempt to go about their lives in a shuttered economy.
On March 20, the Honduran Central Government imposed “Red Alert” laws on the Bay Islands that are in fact more severe than Martial Law the country suffered in 2009.
Honduran Central government has decided to apply the same draconian “security” measures through the country including the geographically isolated island department of Bay Islands.
The coronavirus incubation period takes between 2 and 14 days and Roatan has not seen any cases of Covid-19 since the island has isolated itself 14 days ago.
The March 30th Roatan Municipal ordinance allowing opening of most business and transport for April 1-10 has been challenged by Honduran Central government.
