⚠️ Until 04/08/2020 the number of cases (people with the virus) was not reported, but the number of positive tests. There are people with the virus that were tested positive more than once. Therefore until 4/8, cases (people with the virus) are assumed as the positive tests due to lack of information.

With these graphs updated daily with public official information I show you:
If you can, stay home.
👉 Stay home when possible. Obviously some of us have to go out to work because we cannot do it remotely and all of us at some point need to go out, due to a need of force majeure. Everything else can wait.
If you have to go out, keep 2 meters (~6.5 feet) away from other people and use a face mask to protect yourself and others. According to new recommendations due to the new Omicron variant, ideally wear an N95 mask or similar, or a surgical mask under a cloth one. Avoid touching your face without washing your hands first. When you return home, wash your hands and disinfect everything you bring home and what you have touched before washing your hands.
We are at war against an invisible enemy. The only way to defeat it is by working together. Take care of yourself and others by informing yourself and following the official guidelines (in Uruguay): Coronavirus National Plan.
I invite you to try my interactive coronavirus simulation where you can visually see the impact of social distancing.

First of all, it is super important that you follow the recommendations of the authorities and that you stay home as much as possible.
