Most countries that have seen their cases COVID-19, exploded last month Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United Get-ha States strongly criticized by epidemiologists for their opposition to the social distancing measures harsh necessary to control spread of the new crown sidewalk. For Peru, it now has the second highest in the world per capita rate of new infections a day, it is a different story. Peruvian President Martín Vizcarra declared a national emergency on March 15, when the country only 71 confirmed cases of COVID-19 had. The order has closed its borders Peru and Peruvians prohibited to leave the house except to access essential goods or carry out important work. It ‘was one of the first quarantine in Latin America and came before the freezing orders in France, the UK and other European countries, who were in their corners of infection at the time of Peru forward. But it does not work as hoped. Until May 28, Peru has had almost 142,000 cases of COVID-19 crown and 4099 deaths. And ‘the third highest toll in Latin America, a region that has the new epicenter of the pandemic in recent weeks, led by the two largest countries, Brazil and Mexico. Continue reading: Brazil began the fight against the coronavirus and lose its president is trying to distance the May 23 speech, when he extended most of the quarantine measures by the end of June, he said Vizcarra Peruvians needed to continue to do more, follow the rules and avoid Lockdown “individualistic” and “selfish” behavior. But public health experts say, of living and working conditions in the country of 33 million where one in five people live on just $100 a month almost impossible observed for many Peruvians with quarantine measures. Meanwhile, some government measures have failed, inadvertently lead to large crowds. Here’s what to know how COVID-19 proliferation in Peru, despite quarantine measures. How they spread crown so much during the quarantine of Peru? The virus has spread rapidly in Peru since the country has exceeded confirmed its first case on March 6, the country 1,000 cases of 25 days later, and 10,000 cases of two weeks after the April 14, according to Reuters. About 70% of the cases are concentrated in Lima, the sprawling coastal capital, which is a third of the population at home. Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, the largest city in the world that can not be reached by road, is hit hard as well. The problem is that for many in the South American country, life is still structured in a way which reduces hard for many people to avoid coming into contact with others, says Ivan Hidalgo Romero, academic director at the Institute of Government and Public Administration in Lima. “The [quarantine] government’s strategy for the processing of 30% of Peru, which is used in the formal sector was growing economically,” he says. “But there is another 70% of Peru, which is casual, the, education, food, or to pensions and financial safety nets do not have access to basic health services.” Stay home for a long period, it is impossible that 44% of households that do not have a refrigerator, after a survey in 2018 of the government, families need to leave food access regularly the house. Consequently were the food markets occupied a center of infection. End of April when authorities closed one of Lima more than 1,200 food markets and quickly led the scrap dealers tests, 163 842 came back positive. To provide several months of work is even more difficult was the Peruvians for people in richer countries such as Italy, China and the United States who have their economic shutters. More than 70% of Peruvians work for cash in the informal sector, with little job security and without the possibility of sickness benefits. Working from home is impossible for the vast majority. About 43% of the employed in agriculture or heavy industry workforce, while the construction and tourism account for most of the services sector. Less than a third of households have a computer. “We need to see measures developed in the capital to face the reality of the country to clash,” says Hidalgo. The government has given about $220 poorer families subsidies to help them second crisis of massive economic response of the climate package costing 12% of Peru’s GDP. But critics say that the distribution of aid has contributed to the spread of the virus. Most Peruvians poor do not have bank accounts, so recipients have required banks to go in person to collect their money. “This creates queues at banks since the dawn, without respect for the physical removal” Nora Espiritu, a medical and health researchers wrote in the BMJ, a British medical journal, as the health system of Peru with COVID-19 finish ? E ‘to fight. Ernesto Gozzer, a former director of the National Health Institute of Peru Professor of Global Health at Cayetano Peruvian University, the cocoons system says “at least 30 years of low investment.” “We have in this epidemic with a done system. Therefore, the government has tried these brave quarantine to implement, although do it quickly is not an easy thing in Peru.” Gozzer says the government has moved quickly to increase capacity in the health sector. “Before February, we only had about 100 seats intensive care beds in the country. In March, the doubled to 200. And now we have 1,000.” The government says the new double that figure to 2000, in the following month. Health Minister Victor Zamora Mesía was blunt about the challenges of his country. In an interview with the newspaper La Republica, comparing Peru for Spain, a relatively prosperous nation, about 1.5 times the population of Peru sawing despite starting with approximately 8,000 beds in intensive care in overcrowded hospitals. “If Spain was overwhelmed, make the effort we have to do here.” Nationally, the beds intensive care with fans in Peru hospitals are full 85%, according to the government. But distributed unevenly health facilities, some parts of the country, such as the Amazon northern region of San Martin, have few beds left or completely empty. In mid-May, said the president of the Peruvian Society of intensive care that ICUs in Lima was not to include older patients more rather than taking on younger, he had a higher chance of survival. (Other health officials said after the decisions were made case by case basis and not just on age). isolated in some places like Iquitos, lack of basic medicines led to speculation in the pharmacy prices. “It ‘s always our limit,” says Gozzer. The government’s response to rising infection? Police were working, but about people crashing around the quarantine regulations of lives without personal protective equipment (PPE), thousands of officers are sick themselves. Do you want the priority for the security forces to the front, health protocols on food markets are enforcing, President Vizcarra said on May 22 that also has an extension of quarantine measures will be announced by June 30, but some services delivery companies including lounges and food now allowed to reopen. The government said on May 25 that the number of new infections in Peru flattens Vizcarra what’s called a “plateau not flat.” But the day after the WHO involved Peru in a list of countries in Latin America, where the infection rate is “still accelerating.” The number of new infections a day has passed since 26 May 5700, with a peak of 6154, May 27 Zamora Mesía, the health minister has realized that the economy is also to facilitate an important aspect in quarantine. According to a national telephone survey, 31% of Peruvians have lost their jobs since the blockade began. “Translating the impact on employment and the increase in poverty and extreme poverty in the famine, which also affects health,” he told La Republica. “We need to restore a balance at some point, and this is the first step: We have carefully begin to move in a way that is not a blow not to create what we have gained in the areas of health, the economy.” What it is with that of the rest of Latin America Corona ready? COVID-19 was slow expansion in Latin America and in Asia, Europe and the US, but this month has a top of the falls can be seen throughout the region, and as of May 28, the region accounted for 40% of daily deaths by the disease, it is an alarming figure for a region with high rates of inequality and poverty, under-funded health systems and the highly urbanized population. Latin American governments have dramatically different responses mounted on the pandemic. Leaders in some countries, such as Mexico and Brazil has resisted efforts by the economy and made very few tests for the virus. Other countries, from lockdowns strict relatively wealthy to poor Chile, Honduras implemented. But even with such responses, analysts say limits on state aid and the large informal economy have made it more difficult to maintain for Latin Americans through the quarantine orders, as in Peru. Hidalgo says in the coming months, a time may lead to the governments of the region showdown. Many Latin American countries have experienced rapid economic growth over the past two decades, but some have failed to strengthen this channel wealth in networks of social security systems and health is now crucial breakthroughs to keep at bay COVID-19. “The pandemic will show how governments in the creation of infrastructure for the poor and for the really invested the general population,” he says. “Each country will Bares its reality.” Correction June 1 The original version of this story mischaracterized the confrontation between Peru and other countries in the crown infection rates.
