Misleading COVID-19 Document in Circulation

Belmopan. August 9, 2021. 1:00 p.m. 

The Attorney General’s Ministry is aware of a form entitled “Belizean Cease and Desist Order for any person to prevent forced injection or any medical procedure or test.” This form has been handed to employers in the private sector by individuals who are refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19. 

The ministry states categorically that there is no court order issued by any court to back up such document. The sharing of the document is misinforming the Belizean public. It is unlawful for persons to engage in misinformation or disinformation of any kind. 

As COVID-19 continues to threaten the country’s social and economic wellbeing, the Government of Belize condemns the spreading of misinformation without any medical or legal substantiation. All Belizeans are urged to become informed about their rights and the laws that govern the country.
