Colombia mostly blaming citizens for steep rise in COVID-19 cases
by Adriaan Alsema July 18, 2020
Colombia’s authorities have reported only one business for violating COVID-19 regulations, while citizens are told they are “undisciplined” on a daily basis.
Since President Ivan Duque began relaxing a March 25 lockdown on April 27, only one motel in Barranquilla was reportedly closed despite strict regulations imposed on the private sector.
With the exception of Bogota Mayor Claudia Lopez, authorities and the private sector have blamed only “undisciplined” citizens for the accelerating infections and deaths of the pandemic.
The INS said Friday it registered the highest number of coronavirus infections per day, 8,934, and the highest number of daily deaths related to COVID-19, 259.
