Peru: Armed Forces to be deployed in areas with highest incidence of family reunions

14:43 | Lima, Aug. 13.

Armed Forces members will be deployed in areas where a higher incidence of family reunions has been detected, and they will support the National Police in reinforcing measures to contain the COVID-19 contagion, Defense Minister Jorge Chavez reported on Thursday.


Now, given the new provisions decreed by the Government, "the Armed Forces will be seen during the curfew, particularly in areas where the highest incidence of family reunions, such as 15-year-old parties or crowds, has been detected."



"We respectfully exhort them (to obey the measures), and we are also going to be firm in complying with the provisions," he said in remarks to America Television.
