STORYLINE:

After several weeks of quarantine to mitigate the spread of the new coronavirus, dozens of countries are already returning to normality and gradually reactivating the economy. However, there are others where the infections are still very active and therefore the confinements continue.
The spread of the coronavirus does not stop in Latin America. Countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Peru reported balances that worry the authorities
COVID-19 continues to hit the American continent and in the last six weeks, deaths in the region have doubled and the number of new reported infections have exceeded that record, the director of the Pan American Health Organization said on Tuesday Carissa Etienne during the weekly press conference where the evolution of the disease is evaluated.
Etienne indicated that the current situation "is not a good sign" and that "wishing for the virus to disappear will not work."
Despite not showing a significant decrease in infections, several Latin American countries are among the nations in the world with the longest quarantines.
The Latin American and Caribbean region must control the transmission of the coronavirus before thinking about reactivating the economy, warns a UN inter-agency report, which insists on the need to strengthen health systems to achieve a healthy economic reconstruction.
"There is no possible economic opening without the contagion curve having been controlled, and there is no possible reactivation without a clear plan to avoid the rebound of infections", affirm the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC) and the Pan American Organization of the Health (PAHO) in the joint study.

Peru

In Peru, the quarantine began on March 16 and ended on July 1, although measures such as a curfew have been implemented.
The South American country has more than 613,000 infections, with an approximate average of 1,743 cases per 100,000.
The Peruvian government would impose new confinements in some areas because the spread of the virus is getting worse again. The same media points out that, although the quarantine was quite long, since May the government raised a series of exceptions that from June allowed them to work in carpentry shops, hair salons and even dental centers.

Argentina

In Argentina, the quarantine began on March 20 and still continues, although with some exceptions: you can go out to exercise and shop, for example, but everything related to social gatherings is prohibited and, in addition, to go out by car you need to permit. People exempted from confinement include health personnel, workers in the food industry, public servants, journalists, and there are permits to operate establishments such as laundries.
The South American country has more than 370,000 cases of infection, with an average of about 737 infected per 100,000 inhabitants.

Ecuador

In Ecuador, the quarantine began on March 16 and was lengthened over the months, although an "'epidemiological traffic light' was also implemented to expand the margin of human, labor and productive mobility," reported the local newspaper El Comercio. The country had a gradual reactivation of different sectors. For example, construction started operating again in mid-May.
So far, that country registers more than 111,000 infections, with an average of around 617 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

Paraguay

The quarantine began on March 11 and is still in force, but some exceptions, among which are the possibility of exercising.
The government of that country has already implemented various protocols for activities such as cinema, meetings in private homes and religious activities, among others.

Colombia

In Colombia, the quarantine began on March 25 and is expected to end on August 30.
The country has more than 572,000 cases of contagion, for an approximate average of 1,097 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Although the quarantine will complete five months, several exceptions were made throughout the national territory, such as the exercise and opening of different economic sectors.
Some routes for domestic flights would be opened in September.

Bolivia

The quarantine began on March 22 and would end on August 31. There are reported more than 112,000 cases of contagion, for an average close to 907 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
In this country the quarantine was made more flexible in relation to the contagion curve, although there are areas where it had to be hardened due to the increase in cases.
