The Government has decreed a mandatory curfew in the province of Huamanga (Ayacucho region) for five calendar days — within the framework of the
State of Emergency put in place at the national level.
Curfew will apply to all residents of the province of Huamanga (Ayacucho region) from 6:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.
What is it allowed during mandatory social immobilization?
During this measure, people may only circulate on the roads of public use for the acquisition, production, and supply of food, which includes its storage and distribution for sale to the public.
Strictly necessary personnel —who participate in the provision of health services and medicines, and those who ensure the continued provision of water and sanitation services, as well as agriculture, fishing and aquaculture, transportation, surveillance and security, delivery, restaurants and hotels, assistance, financial services, electricity, gas, fuels, telecommunications services and related activities— are exempt from the measure.
The staff in charge of cleaning and solid waste collection, funeral services, and related activities are also excluded from the order.
During this curfew, pharmacies and drugstores are allowed to operate according to the provision thereon.
Who will be allowed to be outside?
Written, radio, and television press members will be allowed to be outside during curfew hours provided that they carry their personal working permits, respective badges, and ID cards for identification purposes. The authorization includes mobile units that transport them.
The people who require urgent or emergency medical attention —because their health is at serious risk— are allowed to circulate as well.
The supreme decree was signed by Prime Minister Pedro Angulo, as well as the heads of the Interior, Defense, and Justice-Human Rights sectors.
