We shipped critical clinical specimens on dry ice from Belize Sept 29 w/ World Courier on Amerijet International Airlines. It’s been in Miami for >a month. Amerijet International Airlines apparently had paperwork wrong for cargo import. Calls have been of no help. Hoping someone finally helps us for our patients’ sakes.

Extremely successful trip to Belize! We were able to significantly expand the countries ability to test for COVID-19.
