La Mula: GRADE identifies at least 235 food markets in Lima as potential sources of COVID-19 contagion
La Mula highlighted the findings and recommendations of the identification analysis of markets and supermarkets located in the areas most vulnerable to the spread of the virus. Ricardo Fort, senior researcher at GRADE, shared his thoughts: “The idea is not only that we should try to restrict the exit of older people who live in that vulnerable space, but also of those who live with them. In other parts of the world, older adults they live alone or in asylums. In these vulnerable areas, more than 85% of older adults live with their families. If young people leave where there are no conditions of social distancing and return home, the virus will spread completely. “
