COVID19 in Guyana - August

 

What has changed in the last month? 

The pandemic is accelerating and has surged past 1000. Infected persons are still entering the country along the southern and western borders.

On the positive side local stores (East Coast) are becoming more observant with staff wearing masks but many customers do not.

So far no close friends in Guyana or neighbours have been affected.

A hot day

Yesterday was a hot day. The thermometer reached 35C. A record in my experience. The day was very calm and not much cloud.

COVID19 in Guyana - July

We continue to come slowly out of lockdown but case numbers are increasing and approach 400.

On the coast things seem to be mostly unchanged. There seems to be considerable concern over infected persons crossing the border from our neighbours.

COVID19 in Guyana - late June

The first phase of reopening is due to end in a few days. Not much seems to have changed since one month ago. Local supermarkets do not appear to be insisting on a mask though they may have a notice up requesting it. Cases numbers continue to slowly increase.

I have now resumed going for an occasional short walk for exercise which is much needed!

COVID19 in Guyana - late May

How have things changed since last month? Not in a major way it seems.
As the number of cases rises more quickly there does seem to be a gradual increase in adherence to the lockdown rules.
Masks are becoming the norm but not all follow the guidance.
The virus reached the Palms care home earlier this month and there have been cases but I am not sure about the current status.

Some still look for entertainment after curfew.
