Panama City is still under strict lockdown. Men and women are allowed to go out on certain days, at certain times, depending on the last number of theircédulas. Other parts of Panama, though, have lifted these restrictions because the infection rates are under control.

Still, everyone has had to get used to new social norms. So here’s a list of do’s and don’ts to help you…

Do Not:

  • Shake hands;
  • Hug;
  • Stand close to anyone;
  • Touch your face when on an errand;
  • Lift/remove your mask when on an errand;
  • Go in to a place that’s cramped.

Do:

  • Wear a mask at all times;
  • Use disinfectant or alcohol after going somewhere;
  • Wash your hands and change clothes as soon as you get home.

Stores, malls, parks, andcaféshave new regulations which we need to follow. It’s a lot to get used to, but we can’t stay cooped up in our homes forever. All we have to do is be mindful of this new virus and adjust our lives accordingly.

For example, until further notice,cafésare only permitted to sell their goods as take away orders.

Pharmacies and stores have stickers on the ground both inside and outside indicating the distance you must keep from the person in front and behind you.

Cashiers are exposed all day, so they have protective plastic around their station. Please, do not invade their space.

Remote work is the preference during this time. So if you can continue to work without complications from home, and your boss allows it, do so.

This won’t last forever, but it will be our way of life for some time. Hang in there.

Adriana is half Panamanian and half Nicaraguan. She also holds a Brazilian passport. Adriana was born in Nicaragua, but was raised in Mozambique. Her parents' jobs––mother is a nutritionist and dad is a doctor––resulted in them moving around often. This gave her the opportunity to grow up experiencing different cultures and resulted in her speaking three languages fluently, Spanish, English, and Portuguese. She has an undergraduate degree in International Affairs from Florida State University (Panama campus), and is currently living in Panama. Adriana has been part of the Live and Invest Overseas staff since December 2018, and has been Managing Editor for Panama Letter since December 2019. Having traveled so much as a kid, she became a travel enthusiast and hopes to keep on traveling for many years to come.
