In an effort to regulate peoples comings and goings, the supermarkets were limiting entrance to 30 people. They did this very lax on the first several days, but got more and more diligent. The larger cities of Manta and Portoviejo also had driving restrictions, depending on the last number of ones license plate. But now, we are shut down and not allowed to travel that far, we have to stay in our Canton (think county). Last week they were fumigating buses, cars, trucks and motos traveling between cantons and provinces. Now I dont think travel is permitted period.
Banking can be done here in San Jacinto by outside window only 9-1pm. And there have been many posts on FB to use electronic means if at all possible. Pharmacies are open, we have two in San Jacinto. Charapoto Sunday market was closed, and all work has stopped on construction sites and non essential projects.
Just another reason I am so glad to live in a small town off the beaten path. I may just survive this pandemic. Picture above, centro San Clemente... a ghost town. Better safe than sorry. Stay well, and stay tuned, the Adventure continues.
