  • Nicaragua announced Tuesday that it would encourage citizens to practice preventative measures against the coronavirus, including hygiene and social distancing, a major shift for a country that had previously refused to enact such measures. "We are going to strengthen all the information on hand-washing, social distancing, the use of masks," in line with the campaign in other parts of the world to prevent the spread of COVID-19, vice president Rosario Murillo said during a press conference. "We are drawing up posters and explaining the measures" that will be implemented in the country. In addition to the new measures, the country will also begin disinfecting modes of public transportation, bus stops, markets, study and work centers, as well as in homes and neighborhoods, Murillo said. Nicaragua is the only Central American country that has not implemented lockdown measures, closed borders or suspended school in response to the pandemic. Instead, it has promoted attending sports activities, fairs, trips to the beach and visiting tourist sites, all while keeping a safe distance -- an approach that has alarmed international health and human rights organizations. The ministry of health (MINSA) has recorded 13 cases of the virus, including three deaths, since the first infection was reported on March 18. On Monday, MINSA began reducing the already scant information it gave in daily memos about the virus, which include no details about the number of tests performed, the protocols for discharging patients or the number of suspected cases. Epidemiological experts have criticized the authorities' meager information and consider the country to be in a contagion phase. Combined with the lack of preventative measures, many experts project that there will be a considerable increase in cases in the second week of May. Murillo dismissed the reports as "fake news." Nearby El Salvador announced Tuesday evening it was extending its lockdown until May 16 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. El Salvador has so far reported 345 cases of COVID-19 and nine deaths. jr/dga/to/caw/
