Peru has extended until the end of August a coronavirus-related state of emergency that allows the government to impose restrictions in an effort to stem infections.
Interim President Francisco Sagasti and his government’s resolution extended the order, which was expected to be lifted on July 31, until the end of next month.
That means that restrictions including a nighttime curfew in place since March last year would continue.
Data from Johns Hopkins University shows that Peru has struggled to contain surging coronavirus cases and deaths in recent months, with the country recording more than 2.07 million infections and more than 193,000 deaths since the pandemic began.
