The first two of cases of Codvid-19 in Haiti were detected on March 19, 2020. Since then the Haitian government has declared us in a State of Emergency. The government published a decree that states all of the rules and safety precautions that everyone in the territory is obligated to follow. The rules are:

Curfew from 8pm to 5am
Mandatory mask wear in public places
Gatherings of more then 10 people are banned
Closing of schools, universities, factories and places of worship
It is mandatory to stay 6 feet apart from one another
Airports and ports are to be closed except for the transport of goods
Suspension on all of the commercial passenger flights

Up to this day the Ministry of health in Haiti (MSPP) has been publishing the numbers of confirmed cases of codvid-19. We have a total of 4,309 confirmed cases.

Getting through codvid-19 is about working together to keep each other safe. We at GLA have been in isolation for three months. Ever since the country has declared that it is in a state of emergency because of the pandemic. Our executive director made sure that all of the employees attended an informative seminar about Codvid-19. It was a success. All of the employees got the chance to participate and learn about the new good lifestyle habits while living during a pandemic. They even learn how to make mask out of 2 sheets of paper towels.

Everyone is going through Covid-19. We have been doing our best at GLA to adapt with our new living situation. The price of goods has been going up. We are also going though a massive inflation. Our exchange rate from us dollars to Haitian goods went from 98 to 108 in just a period of 2 to 3 months. A can of baby formula now is about 15 dollars and up. It all depends on the brand and the milk because not all babies responds to the same formula the same way. Thanks to your donations we are still able to provide our babies with Baby formula.
