U.S. Embassy in Peru

Economic Reactivation:  On June 30, the Government of Peru published a legislative decree  stipulating that effective today, July 1,  Peru enters “Phase 3” of its economic recovery in most of the country. ​ The decree includes the following:

• Stores can open at up to 50% of customer capacity.
• Restaurants and similar institutions (excluding bars) can open at up to 40% of customer capacity.
• Hotels and travel agencies are authorized to reopen.
• Passengers using public transportation must use seats (are not allowed to travel standing up) and must wear  face protectors in addition to the mandatory facemasks. 

Before reopening, businesses in many sectors, including restaurants, must present their public health plan to the Peruvian authorities and request approval. They cannot open automatically before receiving official permission.

The reactivation does not apply to the regions of Arequipa, Huanuco, Ica, La Libertad, or San Martín, nor to the provinces of Santa, Casma, or Huaraz in Ancash.
