Latin American Governments Taking Proactive Measures To Combat Domestic Outbreaks

• In recent weeks, Latin American governments have moved aggressively to combat the domestic spread of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
• Preventative measures have focused on foreign travel restrictions and school closures, though some countries have also ordered shutdowns of private businesses.
• On that same note, Brazil and Mexico lag the rest of the region in preventative measures on the federal level, potentially leaving them more exposed to localized outbreaks.
