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.
Roatan is now home to the world’s biggest turtle sculpture. The Carey Turtle is 96’-6”long and 46 feet wide and weighs 18,000 pounds and after a precarious project of building it, cutting it has been lifted on top of a four-story West End commercial building.
The fires that have been burning in the Roatan Municipal Garbage Dump could be getting closer to their end and not a minute too soon for residents and visitors.
