In brief: Uruguay keeps borders closed, loosens some restrictions

* Uruguay’s President Luis Lacalle Pou has announced that the country’s borders will remain closed for a further 20 days, until 30 January, to stop the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) although this measure will be re-evaluated in 10 days.

This represents an easing of restrictions announced last month to address a rise in infections.
