Things are worsening again in Panama
Panama had one of the longest and strictest lockdown in the world. About eight months, with very limited window to go out shopping for groceries, male and female scheduled on different day.
Now the cases have been skyrocketing and we will be soon in the same situation again.
Tourism has really been suffering, as most of the hotel and restaurant had no customers for month and had to shut down. Now they were planning to recover a bit and get some local tourists during Christmas and New Year's, but they have been shut down again.
Really sad situation.
