11:25 | Lima, May. 15.

The Peruvian Government has urged citizens to comply with social distancing, the use of face masks, as well as hand-washing with soap and water in order to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the country.

In a video shared on Twitter by the Presidency of the Republic, President Martin Vizcarra points out that scientists around the globe affirm that the best way to prevent the disease is to follow these three recommendations, which were given since the beginning of the pandemic.

"We will win this battle together! Observe the following recommendations to protect your health and that of your family," the Government urged.

On March 15, the Government approved a Supreme Decree that declared a state of national emergency to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus in the South American country, which included measures such as social distancing and the mandatory social isolation.

Initially set to last from March 16 to 30, the social isolation measure has been extended until May 24.
