Hi, Eric! Same in Venezuela. The mask is mandatory because if you don't have it, they take you in. Remember that the government of Venezuela does not want people to go out on the streets, so they have extended the quarantine, although the number of infected is lower than in many other countries. The government knows that if people leave their homes it is to protest. There has already been an outbreak of looting in some areas. In an oil-producing country, there is no gasoline, no gas either. The food is going through the roof and corruption is rampant. Venezuela is a time bomb :(!
