If you read the full instructions it states that persons who do not have cell phones are allowed entry in Belize. The app is encouraged only and it states it often does not function properly.

Hello, my name is Charles M. Ollinger, I own a property in san pedro, ambergris caye. I wish to travel to san pedro within the next couple of weeks, I have had covid with in the last 60 days, I am recovered, I have not tested since my recovery for the health department in my city here in the United States, Erie, Pennsylvania, tells me you can test positive for up to 90 days after your initial positive ... more test even if you have recovered as you will still have the covid protein in your body, and you are way past your infection date, and you are recovered. They also say you are not contagious and cannot spread the virus. Below I have highlighted in yellow what the United States policy is as far as entry into our country, it states if you have documentation of a dated positive test result, along with a letter from your health care provider that you have been treated and not infectious and cleared for travel you can enter the United States. My question is does the Belizean government accept this documentation as well, and will this be enough to for me to enter Belize upon my arrival at the BZE airport. I thank you for your consideration in this matter, would you respond to this email, as I would like to return to San Pedro, Ambergris Caye in the near future. Sincerely Charles M. Ollinger Requirement for Proof of Negative COVID-19 Test or Recovery from COVID-19 for All Air Passengers Arriving in the United States Updated Feb. 4, 2021 Print On This Page • General FAQ • Passengers FAQ • Aircraft Operators/Airlines/Crew FAQ If you plan to travel internationally, you will need to get tested no more than 3 days before you travel by air into the United States (US) and show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight, or be prepared to show documentation of recovery (proof of a recent positive viral test and a letter from your healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).
