What people can and can’t do in Colombia during the pandemic

In order to avoid the spread of Covid-19, the government of Colombia has taken some measures people need to follow until May 11th.

The government said that parents can’t take their children to school or any other classes. Teachers are creating activities 

so that students can learn and do school work from home. In addition, private music, art and sports programs can offer their classes online. 

Also, people can’t leave their house to attend any social events or crowded places such as restaurants, churches, stadiums, movie theaters or shopping malls. It’s very important to stay home. People can consider other alternatives like cooking at home, attend virtual events and use delivery services some restaurants are offering.  

All non-essential businesses are closed. Only a few essential businesses like supermarkets can stay open. That means some people can go to work only with a special authorization. Otherwise, people can’t leave their homes. 

Experts suggest to avoid socializing and limit your communication with family and friends to video and phone calls. Although most sports and recreational centers will be closed, people can still get some exercise at home.
