En un país donde la mayoría de gente viven en casas de uno o dos cuartos para toda la familia, no es posible simplemente pedirles quedarse en casa, dice @DrGiammattei, y por eso Guatemala requiere una estrategia para contener los casos de coronavirus. #ACGuatemala#ACLeaders
Una población que esté consciente del riesgo del virus es muy importante, donde todo el mundo pone la mascarilla, será posible abrir sectores de la economía mientras tanto podemos cerrar lugares donde vemos mas casos. - @DrGiammattei#ACGuatemala#ACLeaders
Hemos iniciado la construcción de facilidades para la exportación de productos guatemaltecos donde hagamos todos los impuestos y controles sanitarias para frutas/verduras aquí, antes del envio, para reducir los trámites y garantizar confianza, dice @DrGiammattei. #ACLeaders
Si America Central podría integrarse en un solo bloque económico, sería posible atraer inversiones, facilitar comercio, generar ingresos, y acceder a los recursos naturales. @DrGiammattei#ACGuatemala#ACLeaders
