A new battlefront in the midst of the pandemic
30 clandestine crossings were discovered at the border, which is why armored vehicles have been sent to monitor the border crossing between Piura and Tumbes with Ecuador at all times.
Dozens of foreigners without any type of sanitary measure to prevent some type of COVID-19 contagion, including some carrying products that had previously been handled in Ecuador, their objective is to reach Peru from Ecuador , through the border crossing of Tumbes , a line 150 kilometer border separated by a precarious canal, surrounded by vegetation and more than 30 clandestine passes.
The offenders enter illegally, they are Ecuadorian and Venezuelan citizens, they move irregularly through various sections of our border and they are already in our country. In March, more than 400 detainees were registered for circumventing the rule and trying to enter Peruvian territory.
The Tumbes registers more than 22 cases of coronavirus and two fatalities. While the figures in the neighboring country are alarming where the infected and dead increase every day and the pandemic seems to be overflowing.
The Armed Forces of Peru and Ecuador protect each point of the border, avoiding any passage to the country, taking care of the population and guaranteeing compliance with the state of emergency to avoid any type of contagion.
