Some days can be harder than others, but I am trying to remember why I need to stay at home. I have been trying to be proactive about reaching out to others in the communities where I work for One ATTA Time, asking how they are doing. I really love they can be able to experience the perception of support, meaning support from a distance. I really miss going to the communities be in touch with the people and all the kids in the schools.

Also, I know El Salvador is on an economic road to nowhere, but I have made a decision to trust God whatever happens. I have to do my part and not put others at risk and not compromise the weak health system. Right now we are thankful to be healthy, but it doesn’t matter if we are healthy (my husband my baby and me) we still must quarantine.

I don’t see myself as a fearful or paranoid person, but talking about the precarious health system here in El Salvador makes me feel a little scared. El Salvador receives more than 2 million tourists annually, so this will have a large economic impact upon us.Ĭynthia, how is this situation affecting you personally? Once the three months are up payment of the charges accrued will be spread over two years.ĭefinitely, on the economic front, one of the most important shocks for El Salvador will be to tourism (creating lots of investing opportunities), infrastructure, etc.

El Salvador is taking steps to limit the economic impact for people and businesses, including suspending, for three months, the charge for some services like electricity, water personal loans etc. Last week, thousands gathered outside of a government building in the capital to demand the $300 government checks the President promised to some of the households who work as street vendors and other jobs in the informal economy.
