An Enduring Social Distance
posted (April 16, 2020)

Speaking more broadly about the national state of emergency and the fact that there have been no positive tests reported for three days, the public asked Manzanero when the social distancing regulations will be relaxed:

Dr. Marvin Manzanero - Director of Health Services
"The short answer is, we don't know. Up until next weekend, next 8 to 10 days is when we start looking at the numbers and see whether we can make that recommendation and also follow what other countries are doing in terms of opening up. At yesterday's meeting with PAHO, some of the Spanish Colleagues from Spain were sharing some of how they have gone on with eventual opening of facilities and they themselves acknowledge they don't know when is the ideal time to open, so that countries would have to make individual decisions of how you go about opening it, if you ever go back to a normal school calendar because it might be that your school classrooms are spaced out, that you come in one day for the week, many dynamics are going to have to address and we are learning as we go along."
