(20 May 2020) As countries around the globe are easing back to life after loosening their coronavirus restrictions, some cities across Latin America continue under lockdown measures to slow down the spread of COVID-19.
Aerial images from Brazil, Colombia and Chile show noticeably fewer people in its streets, highways and beaches.
While infection rates have been falling in Asia and much of Europe, the pandemic is still spiking in Latin America, with Mexico and Brazil being hotspots.
Brazil this week became the world's third worst-hit country with more than 250,000 confirmed cases despite limited testing.
In Lima, the capital of Peru, coronavirus patients are filling up the city's intensive care beds.
More than 90% of intensive care beds were full last week in Chile's capital, Santiago, whose main cemetery dug 1,000 emergency graves to prepare for a wave of deaths.
Some of the hardest-hit cities, like Lima and Santiago, imposed strict, early lockdowns.
But officials have struggled to enforce them, whether among the wealthy who are used to flouting regulations or lower-income people who depend on day labor or selling things on the street to feed their families.
Latin America is the world's most unequal region, a reality that experts say has made it difficult to balance health and economic growth, with millions facing increased poverty during quarantines, curfews and shutdowns.
