CARACAS - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday ordered businesses to close and citizens to remain in their homes in a “social quarantine” affecting six states and the capital, Caracas, starting on Monday to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Venezuela has confirmed 17 cases of the virus and no deaths, but the decay of its public health system after years of economic crisis has raised alarm about whether Maduro’s government is in a position to control its spread.Saying there “is no other option,” Maduro added: “We either go into quarantine, or the pandemic could brutally and tragically bring down our country.”
The military was deployed around the country on Sunday as part of what the government called an effort to support the health system. The government had earlier suspended most international flights and canceled school. Colombia closed the border between the two nations, dealing a blow to Venezuelan border residents who often shop and work in the neighboring nation.The eastern Caracas district of Petare was packed on Sunday afternoon, prior to Maduro’s announcement, as nervous citizens sought to stock up.
