Costa Rica has so far succeeded in limiting the spread of the coronavirus. In order to keep it that way, health authorities say the country must tread very carefully.Â
Costa Rica will begin easing some coronavirus measures starting May 1, President Carlos Alvarado and Health Minister Daniel Salas announced Monday afternoon.Â
With great challenges ahead, Costa Ricans, let's continue forward with our sleeves rolled up. In union, Costa Rica will get ahead and rise stronger in its bicentennial. Let's get to work.
The new instructions are in addition to previously announced measures suspending mass gatherings and telling employees from working from home when possible.Â
The president of Costa Rica, Carlos Alvarado, announced on Wednesday an effort to strengthen governance in response to a scandal over suspicions of breach of private information that caused several resignations in his cabinet.
The Minister of the Presidency of Costa Rica, VÃctor Morales, denied Monday that the government had violated the private information of the population with a controversial data collection unit.
