Belize
Yet another head of state from the wider Caribbean has been smitten by Dengue Fever. First there was DR Vice President Rafael Albuquerque who was hospitalized on Sunday, August 17 2008 with Dengue Fever, one day after his swearing-in ceremony. In September of that year, Trinidad Minister of Health Jerry Narace suffered the same fate, although he would not admit it. Now, guess whose turn it is? Prime Minister of Belize Dean Barrow.
PM Barrow‘s office confirmed this in a brief statement issued on Tuesday, September 29 2009. Barrow was absent from work for the rest of that week.
