The Guatemalan government decided to handle the situation by closing the borders on March 17 to ALL travel. They then closed the roads and shut down the boats to Chuk Muk and Santiago Atitlan. The next step was to close all schools in Guatemala. They isolated areas and then asked people to not congregate in groups. They stopped the 2 large market days, on Friday and Sunday, and gave each suburb a day and time to shop. They also had the health centre visit each home to explain hand washing and safe practices during a pandemic. They then limited the number of people travelling in the back of a truck to 10 ( it is often over 30 people). After a week, universities restarted with the students using the internet. Fortunately for our students, we have internet at our office as there is no internet in the village. We have a big disc on our office. Luckily we also pay ahead for all our university students as we cannot pay for their university at the banks in Santiago Atitlan. We have until the end of May paid for. A curfew was implemented from 4 pm to 4 am.
It is now over 3 weeks and there are NO COVID-19 cases in Cerro de Oro, Chuk Muk and Santiago Atitlan. The suburbs are allowed to shop in the market on any day of the week. The Ministry of Education has given an alternative format of education ( TV and internet) for the students in elementary, middle and high school. This has to be organized by the school according to the capacity of the community and the area where the school is. The Ministry has not considered that most of the people in rural areas do not have TV’s or internet nor the money for minutes on their phone ( if they have one) to call the teachers if they experience any problems. To compound the problem, the students are also suppose to ask their parents for help. Well in Chuk Muk a large percentage of parents do not speak Spanish nor did they go to school. At this time, no schools are open in this area.
Many families are being affected by the lack of tourists in the area and the inability of beadwork and weaving to be sent to international markets. The government in Guatemala has stated they will give Q1000 to people who have lost their jobs. However basically no one in Chuk Muk has a legal job therefore no one is eligible for this relief. People in this area do not have bank account and live a hand to mouth existence. We are quite concerned about the mounting hunger that could escalate in this area and proper sanitation if COVID-19 does present itself.
We therefore sent Jaime, our manager, to visit the local hospital to verify that there were No COVID-19 cases as we did not want him getting ill or spreading the disease. Once we knew he was okay to implement our plan Jaime visited all our sponsor families and once again showed them proper hand washing with soap and using a mild bleach solution to wash items from the market.
