COVID Impact
In Monrassa, the first case was recorded on 2 March. As of 4 August, they had 10,432 cases declared positive, including 214 deaths, 6,920 recovered and 3,297 under treatment, with thousands of people quarantined everywhere, particularly in hotels.
Political measures to combat the pandemic take into account the country’s economic context. For example, it is unthinkable for Monrassa to implement some of the general containment measures of some countries, for lack of resources.
Other measures have been adopted, such as: promotion of ‘barrier gestures’ (measures people can take to reduce risk of infection, such as regular handwashing or only using a tissue once), closure of schools, a curfew at night,
The economic fallout though is extreme causing widespread protests of the COVID laws.
Caution is advised but wearing of Masks is an individual choice.
