Home | News & Events | Health Alert: U.S. Embassy Panama City, Panama (July 24, 2020)

Event: COVID-19 Situation Report and Reminders

On July 23, Panama’s Ministry of Health (MINSA) confirmed 56,817 cases of COVID-19.

The Municipality of Arraijan decreed a temporary dry law on weekends, starting July 24. The dry law runs from 7:00pm each Friday and continues until Monday at 5:00am.

On July 21, the Government of Panama announced total quarantine in the provinces of Bocas del Toro, Colon, and Chiriqui on Saturdays and Sundays. The curfew from Monday through Friday remains from 7pm until 5am.

Beginning Monday, July 27, businesses in Los Santos, Herrera, and Cocle provinces will be allowed to open businesses of car sales, private construction, and professional and administrative services. All businesses must meet biosecurity requirements.

Effective July 17, MINSA established new quarantine hours for the Panama and Panama Oeste provinces. Total quarantine begins on Friday at 7:00pm and ends on Monday at 5:00am. There is also a curfew from 7:00pm until 5:00am Monday through Thursday. Movement in these provinces remains restricted based on gender and ID number. Gender restrictions allow for movements as follows:

Women: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Men: Tuesday and Thursday.

These movement restrictions allow for a two-hour window, intended only for essential purchases, based on the last digit of each individual’s cedula number or passport number if an individual is not a citizen of Panama. U.S. Citizens in Panama should always carry their passports, and their Panamanian cedula if they have one. The two-hour windows are as follows:

Last number is 7 – 6:30 – 8:30am

Last number is 8 – 7:30 – 9:30am

Last number is 9 – 8:30 – 10:30am

Last number is 0 – 9:30 – 11:30am

Last number is 1 – 12:30 – 2:30pm

Last number is 2 – 1:30 – 3:30pm

Last number is 3 – 2:30 – 4:30pm

Last number is 4 – 3:30 – 5:30pm

Last number is 5 – 4:30 – 6:30pm

Last number is 6 – 5:30 – 7:00pm

There is a special window for those over 60 years old, regardless of cedula or passport numbers, between 7:00am and 10:00am (gender restrictions still apply).

Normal exceptions apply for holders of permission letters (salvoconductos).

Parents may take one child per family outside near their home or in the social areas of their apartment building during the two-hour window of the accompanying parent.

Exercises such as bicycling, running, and skating are permissible if done within one kilometer of your home, with a mask, and inside your two-hour window.

Private sector employees are required to enter their places of employment by no later than 8:00am. Public sector employees are required to enter by no later than 9:00am.

All other provinces have a curfew from 7 pm to 5 am, Monday through Sunday. Children are also free to move about from 4 pm to 7 pm, accompanied by a parent, guardian, or caretaker. The use of masks and social distancing are still required. This new flexibility does not permit social group activities, cultural events, festivals, visits to the beach, contact sports, or any other activity that violates social distancing. The Government of Panama still maintains security checkpoints on the roads and prohibits most interprovincial travel.

MINSA reminds citizens and residents of Panama that staying at home, not touching your face, and washing your hands frequently are the best means of prevention against COVID-19. It also requires the use of masks, even homemade ones, when in public.

The Embassy encourages everyone to prepare accordingly. Take the opportunity to stock up on any medicines and food supplies you may need to shelter in place in your homes for an extended period of time.

On July 17, the Government of Panama extended the suspension of international commercial passenger and domestic charter flights, originally announced on March 26, for an additional 30 days beginning July 22. The previous exceptions for cargo, humanitarian, medical supplies, medical evacuation, and vaccines remain in place.

On July 8, MINSA announced that Green Frog brand alcohol gel has been pulled from the market due to the content of toxic methanol. To report the sale or distribution of this product, call 512-9163 or 512-9170.

Effective June 8, Panama’s National Immigration Service opened and started a 90-day period during which foreigners may submit applications to maintain or adjust their immigration status in Panama without incurring fines. This applies to applicants whose immigration status expired between March 13 and June 7. For more details see www.migración.gob.pa.

On June 2, 2020, MINSA published a resolution stating that anyone leaving their residence must be wearing a mask that covers their nose and mouth. Any individual not wearing a mask is subject to possible detention and fine.

On June 1, the Government of Panama opened the second economic block. For more details about the Government of Panama’s plan to gradually reopen the economy, and the economic sectors opened in each block, see the infographic in this tweet from MINSA, also available with English translations on the Embassy’s COVID-19 Information page. The Government of Panama will evaluate every two weeks, but the date for opening additional business blocks remains unknown.

On March 19, the U.S. Department of State issued a Global Level 4 Health Advisory, advising U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 3 Global COVID-19 Outbreak Notice.

Please express your interest in consideration for potential evacuation flights by emailing: [email protected].

On March 14, the Department of State authorized the departure from any diplomatic or consular post in the world of U.S. personnel and family members who have been medically determined to be at higher risk of a poor outcome if exposed to COVID-19.

Title: The Alchemist The Alchemist February 8, 2020 by Donna from MyOBT # My younger daughter played me a version of one of my favorite songs of all time, Sing Sing Sing, by Bebo Best & the Super Lounge Orchestra. And down the rabbit hole I went… I’m not sure whether or not BB & TSLO coined the term, but they play what they call nu jazz, and I love it! And they don’t just limit themselves to updated versions of swing songs, either. They do some really fun loungy (is that a word?) interpretations of contemporary songs, too. The famous electronic music producer Bebo Best (A.K.A. Bebo Baldan, A.K.A. The Alchemist) has had a long and storied career in his native Italy and all over Europe. His jazz and bossa nova music is regularly used for movie, television, and advertising soundtracks, and his tracks have become the darling of the Italian fashion show scene. It’s such eminently listenable stuff, it’s no surprise he’s so popular. “With the spirit of whatever “Nu Jazz” might be, with a way-cool cinematic bossa nova-jazz groove that could pass for a genuine late-’60s or early-’70s soundtrack recording, garnished with early 21st century electronic touches. Bebo blends elements of dance music, jazz, trip-hop, swing and downtempo into one delicious, happy cocktail and suggests the exuberant insouciance of parties, rides in convertibles on warm, full-moon nights, and an afternoon spent dancing barefoot with friends with a glass of sangria in your hand.” – CHIN CHIN RECORDS You can check out all of Bebo Best’s work on his website and you can follow the Super Lounge Orchestra on Facebook and YouTube.
