    El Salvador registered a new death on Saturday due to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (causing the COVID-19 disease), bringing the death of this disease to 17, an official source reported.

    "I deeply regret the seventeenth person who died from COVID-19," published the head of the Ministry of Health, Francisco Alab?, on his social networks.

    According to the official, the seventeenth person who died was a health professional "in charge of a pharmacy for the health unit, 38 years old and diabetic."

    Alab? expressed his condolences to the family and "all our staff" and added that "the country has had a great loss."

    El Salvador has 784 infections and more than 39,000 tests have been carried out to detect the virus, according to official information revealed this Saturday.

      05/10/2020 - 22:56

      The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, urged citizens on Sunday to continue with a "special" and "absolute" quarantine, decreed last Thursday to stop the expansion of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (causing the COVID disease -19) in the country, where the number of infections increased to 889.

      Bukele published on his Twitter account that "yesterday (Saturday), the majority of Salvadorans complied with the special quarantine", so he called people to "continue like this", since "this has to bear fruit".

      "Now (the results) are not seen, due to the incubation time of the virus, but they must be seen soon, they must be seen soon. Let's hold on," he added.

      On Thursday, El Salvador's security authorities imposed a "strict" and "rigid" quarantine throughout the Central American country to try to curb infections and prevent the collapse of its health system, according to the government.

      This quarantine was installed the same day that a law passed by the Legislative Assembly came into force, authorizing the Executive to detain and confine in "containment centers" those persons who allegedly violate domiciliary quarantine.

      The number of infections in El Salvador rose to 889 in the last 24 hours, while the number of deceased remains at 17 and 489 suspected cases are reported.

      The department of San Salvador is the epicenter of new coronavirus infections with 410 cases, followed by La Libertad (center) and Santa Ana (northwest) with 74 and 57, respectively.

      FLEXIBILITY FOR MOBILIZATION OF HEALTH PERSONNEL

      The "absolute" quarantine established that public passenger transport would cease to circulate in its entirety, however, a new Executive decree issued on Saturday night authorizes 'some' drivers to circulate for the transfer of health professionals who work in fighting the virus.

      Doctors, nurses and other health personnel must circulate properly identified to be able to use public transportation.

      "Public passenger transport may only to mobilize duly identified health personnel," the document states.

        COVID-19 deaths reach 18 in El Salvador and infections total 958
        Monday, May 11 2020 3:16 PM

        San Salvador - El Salvador registered its eighteenth death on Monday from COVID-19, with which the case fatality rate represents 1.87% of cases, while the number of infections is close to a thousand with 958 confirmed, reported the Ministry of Health.

        The head of the Health portfolio, Francisco Alab?, pointed out in a press conference that this is a 76-year-old man, who entered an intensive care unit.

        "We join the family's pain for this irreparable loss" and "we call on the population not to see the preventive measures temporarily," said the official.

        The country processed 1,953 tests on Sunday to detect the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (causing the disease of COVID-19), of which 69 were positive and raised the cases by approximately 7.8%, compared to Saturday's count .

        The recovered people add up to 325 and the "active" cases are 615, of which 505 patients do not present symptoms, 89 are stable, 9 have a "moderate" prognosis and 6 "severe". In "critical" state are 6 people.

        The department of San Salvador is the epicenter of new coronavirus infections with 440 cases, approximately 46%, followed by La Libertad (center) and Santa Ana (northwest) with 83 and 64, respectively.

        El Salvador has been in an "absolute" and "rigid" quarantine since last Thursday with the prohibition of the movement of public transport and the limitation of the purchase of food by means of the identity number.

        This quarantine is expected to conclude on May 21, but the authorities have not ruled out its extension due to the behavior of the infections.

        The main opposition party in Congress, the right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance (Arena), seeks to reverse these measures, which it considers unconstitutional.

        Deputies of this party asked to repeal a law that gives rise to "absolute" quarantine and asked the Supreme to declare unconstitutional the related presidential decrees.

                    Nayib Bukele, the president of the Republic of El Savador, has declared the extension of the state of national emergency without the prior vote of Congress. The president has defended his decision under the protection of a law that allows him to do so.

                    The state of alarm in the Caribbean country lasted until Saturday, May 16, since Congress did not schedule a meeting until Monday, Bukele used Article 24 of the Civil Protection Law to extend the measure.

                    Before the declaration, many deputies protested against the president, in response, he did not hesitate to respond to them via social networks. Likewise, Bukele explained that he did it for the citizens, since he is convinced that the quarantine works and also, he wants to avoid at all costs the collapse of the sanitary units.

                    "I see FMLN deputies claiming that, in use of my power as President of the Republic, I declared a State of Emergency. They say it is a blow to democracy and I don't know what else ... "

                    As of this Sunday, El Salvador registers 1,338 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 27 deaths.

                      Salvadoran Supreme Court suspends state of emergency dictated by Bukele
                      Text by Cocuyo Effect

                      The Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of El Salvador temporarily suspended the state of emergency decree issued by the Government of Nayib Bukele, who dispensed with Congress to take the measure.

                      The magistrates of the Supreme Court admitted a claim of unconstitutionality to determine alleged "defects in form" and whether the president exercised a function of Congress "without justification," according to the resolution.

                      With this decision they suspended the effects of the executive decree "immediately and provisionally" while this process of unconstitutionality "promoted by a citizen is pending.

                      "The authorities of the Executive body may not exercise any of the powers established by said regulations; likewise, the effects of any act or rule that is a consequence of the aforementioned executive decree are suspended, ”added the constitutional judges, this Monday, May 18.

                      According to the Executive, the state of emergency gives legal support to the measures of confinement and economic relief to the population, such as the moratorium on the payment of basic services.

                      The resolution indicates that President Bukele has 10 days to rule on the legal justification for the measure, at the same time that he has the Attorney General's Office to give his position.

                      The Constitutional Chamber also called on the Government and Congress to make a "mutual effort" for the prompt approval of a national emergency law "that updates the conditions in which Salvadoran society is currently facing the COVID combat- 19 ".

                      The deputies are discussing a series of proposals on Monday and they are expected to vote this Monday on a new national state of emergency law.

                      Bukele: "Unprecedented"

                      President Bukele reacted from his Twitter account and assured that this is "an unprecedented act" of the Constitutional Chamber.

                      "It takes away a power from the Presidency of the Republic, a power that all the presidents of El Salvador have had and used, in times of emergency. And they do it in the largest emergency the world has had in 100 years, "he said.

                      The government declared a state of emergency close to dawn on Sunday to stop the advance of COVID-19, protected by a law that allows it if Congress cannot meet.

                      The Executive evoked an article of the Civil Protection Law that gives it the power to issue the measure in the face of problems to set up a session of the deputies, but the Prosecutor's Office noted that "the Legislative Assembly was not unable to meet."

                      The government measure was classified by deputies and analysts as "ignorance" of the Legislative body and "hidden" state of emergency.

                      The Office of the Prosecutor called the action "an act of usurpation of powers" and also requested its nullity, given that it considers that "the Legislative Assembly was not unable to meet."

                      The Presidency's legal secretary, Conan Castro, said in remarks to the international press on Sunday that without the state of emergency, the law of mandatory confinement and the presidential decree declaring "absolute" quarantine have no legal basis.

                      Close to collapse

                      The Salvadoran government predicts that the hospital system will collapse in the coming weeks due to the accelerated rate of infections and the increase in the number of suspected cases.

                      A group of doctors and employees of the Ministry of Health on Monday called on Congress to maintain the containment measures through a state of emergency.

                      "We support the measures of the state of emergency, which must be ratified by the Legislative Assembly and we request that the measures of home quarantine continue" to contain the advance of the virus, Rigoberto Gonz?lez, director of the Jos? public hospital, told the press. Molina Mart?nez.

                      The head of nursing at said center assured that the country is at the peak of infections, so she also called on the population to continue with the protection measures.

                      According to the last official count, El Salvador registers 1,413 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 30 deaths and 1,052 patients with suspicions.
