Only one person per family will be allowed to leave home to buy supplies or visit pharmacies and banks during the state of national emergency declared in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
This order modifies a previous measure stipulated by
Supreme Decree No. 057-2020-PCM, which limited men and women to alternate days out to shop for provisions and medicines.
According to said decree, men could circulate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, whereas women were allowed to do so on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Those who need to obtain the financial benefits granted by the Government —within the framework of the state of emergency— and collect their pension, will be allowed to leave their homes.
The document was inked by Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra, Prime Minister Vicente Zeballos, and State ministers.
The decree reiterates that the use of face masks is mandatory when outside during said period.
