COVID
In 2020, Covid changed the world in Guatemala enormously! The lock down was complete; no buses or micro buses, roadblocks to keep Guatemalans from traveling from one part of the country to another by car and changing curfews with heavy fines from a month’s salary for the poor on up. There was no hiring, except for English speaking call centers.
By 2023 all the lockdowns are rescinded, the mask mandates are no more (but many still prefer to mask up), and life has resumed a state of normalcy.
