COVID19 in Guyana - update

So we have completed three weeks of (loosely enforced) lockdown.

Here on the East Coast the lockdown is not enforced as much as in the city but many businesses are closed down. Not having left the house recently it is difficult to be sure of details. I am now seeing a minority wearing masks on the road outside and the area is quieter than usual.

There is limited application of distancing especially in those local shops which are still open.

The relatively slow progress of the virus suggests that policies are having some effect. However clearly more testing is needed. This is not going to be over soon.
