to Four months

curfew

​

With four months to go until the curfew, our concerns about the handling of the public health emergency are at their peak. Although many of us still practice physical distancing to “flatten the curve,” our healthcare system is on the brink of collapse.

 

Physical distancing is not everything.

 

On March 26, Taller Salud sent a letter to the Hon. Wanda Vázquez Garced with the purpose of proposing some recommendations and demands based on law and human rights to cope with the crisis. The recommendations included:guarantees of the rights of bedridden people, access to food, massive tests, internet as an essential service,among several others.

 

Four months after the curfew, the most palpable distancing is on the part of the Government in its responsibility to protect the people.

 

Since March 26, Taller Salud has communicated with the Government en  three occasions. We update our recommendations with a focus on health according to the needs of the moment. As of July, instead of an answer, we received greater uncertainty.

 

This virus stops concerted planning and the guarantee of access to health and human rights. We must act collectively, using the values of #NosTenemosPR to demand health and a dignified life for all people in Puerto Rico.

 

For this, we need your support. 

 

Sign the Action and Demand: Data, Transparency, Human Rights and Access, Health Strategies, Health Guarantees for Open Businesses, Air Traffic Control and Tourism, and Protections for the Students of the Education System of Puerto Rico.
