The extension will give lawmakers an additional four days, during which they said they would seek to work with the government of President Nayib Bukele and address issues related to the economy, health and human rights. Bukele and other Central American leaders have implemented swift and strict measures after the first cases of the fast-spreading coronavirus were registered, yet thousands of people in the region were detained for violating the rules.
However, Bukele said over the weekend that all people must wear a mask as of Monday. Bukele said those who drive cars without justification will be sent to containment centers for 30 days while their driver’s license and vehicle will be seized.
