In order to try to flatten the contagion curve (1,414) and deaths (55) from coronaviruses as much as possible, Peru has developed a mechanism according to which men and women subjected to the mandatory quarantine regime will be able to exit, from today and until April 12, on days set by gender, in order to make purchases of basic necessities and / or urgent practices. This was announced yesterday evening by the President of the Republic, Martin Vizcarra. This is a measure, already adopted on March 31 in Panama not without controversy, but in Lima the head of state warned that Peru "is inclusive" and protects all citizens, for which all episodes of homophobia will be severely punished. According to the presidential decree, between 8 and 18 men can go out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while women can go out on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Sunday, however, will be off limits for everyone. The provision of circulation by sex, from which shop staff of all kinds are excluded, will end on April 12, the same day as the end of the state of emergency which introduced a strict night curfew.
