The exceptional coordination of all elements of the government and the nation in Uruguay and the reduction of the rights of the authorities to fight Corona seems to be the secret of the country's success in fighting the virus.

Gold Cafe - Uonize Italy news site wrote: Uruguay has always been called "Latin America Switzerland". But this time, Switzerland has also overtaken the ball, and the number of infected people in this country has stopped at 847, and no one has been infected with the Corona virus recently.
According to preliminary statistics from the Ministry of Health, even in the first two months of the outbreak of the virus, from March 13 to May 17, there were more than 1,500 deaths less than the same period last year. Mortality rates appear to have continued to decline in recent weeks.
On March 13, when the first case of the virus was registered, two weeks had passed since Lacal Poe took office. In the first place, it formed a special commission consisting of scientific advisors to manage the crisis. It also closed its borders and ordered the closure of classrooms, religious sites, sporting events and art gatherings.
According to one of the country's leaders, "we may disagree on the country's economic policy, but not on the fight against the virus." The same coordination led to the creation of a special fund for the crisis in a short period of time, which provided a salary of more than $ 1,800 with a 20% reduction in the salaries of presidents, ministers, members of parliament and government employees. The same money became the income of informal workers who could retire.
Montevideo is in the second phase of control while other parts of the continent prepare to face the peak of the virus in the coming weeks. The country's schools are resuming operations, and government and economic departments are slowly returning to peak activity.
