SOACHA, Colombia - Sandra Sierra is praying for someone to bring her and her family food amid Colombia’s coronavirus quarantine. Her teenage son Kevin is at higher risk of serious illness if infected with COVID-19, the respiratory ailment caused by the virus, which has killed at least 90,000 worldwide.
The family is among many low-income Colombians who have yet to receive help from the government, despite promises no one would go hungry during the more than month-long lockdown and additional payments to those on welfare programs. Her son, she said, “is low on defenses. I haven’t been able to give him even a piece of fish or chicken - he needs them.”
