Resumen
Descripción
Unemployment is rising quickly and
affected households are losing their main source of incomes.
There is an obvious need for speeding up public intervention
in the areas of virtual learning and access to medical
attention and medicines across most vulnerable households.
Reducing food consumption is the main mechanism to cope with
the crisis for most households across the region. Despite a
large rate of approval for governments’ interventions, lack
of financial support to population, lack of enforcement or
late response are the key area of public dissatisfaction.
Unsurprisingly, there is a wide variation in abidance with
lock-down measures mandated across countries. In countries
like Bolivia, El Salvador, Honduras, and Peru over 90
percent of the population report to respect and follow the lockdown.
