Have there been any issues with the graphs recently? I see the first one is continuously updated, but those on the Statistics section are stuck at December 7.--179.6.192.157 (talk) 20:12, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should COVID-19 pandemic in La Libertad be merged into COVID-19 pandemic in Peru?

• Support merger. Mccapra (talk) 14:33, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose: Make one for every region IF POSSIBLE Mausebru (talk) 18:15, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - no benefit in having these distributed stublets when the material would easily and helpfully make a subsection of this article. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:09, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - readers are better served by a single article, rather than having to switch back and forth between these stubs. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:45, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please delete the "Notes" section because there aren't any notes right now, and there's no need for a section consisting of nothing. Someone can always put it back later if more notes are added at some point. 74.98.192.38 (talk) 20:04, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Effects section is misleading

The article states "The COVID-19 pandemic in Peru exposed the weaknesses of the country's neoliberal framework.". The source linked is an article that seems to discuss the 2021 Presidential Election (the article is behind a pay wall). I propose to eliminate this sentence altogether. There is no evidence that the pandemic exposed the weaknesses of the country's neoliberal framework as its effects were seen across the globe regardless the political or economic framework. Jeremy Hillary Boob, Ph.D (talk) 23:17, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That one stood out to me as well. Not only are the sources bullshit, the claim also makes no sense. 96.241.26.70 (talk) 20:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatically incorrect sentence

Under the Government Response section, the following sentence:

"This was partly attributed to days that women were permitted to leave culminated in long lines and crowded supermarkets, causing a difficulty in maintaining social distancing guidelines."

...is wrong because it confuses two independent clauses.

It should say:

"This was partly attributed to days that women were permitted to leave culminating in long lines and crowded supermarkets, causing a difficulty in maintaining social distancing guidelines." ~2025-36105-40 (talk) 17:55, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
