San Vicente Pacaya, a town in southern Guatemala, has implemented strict measures to combat COVID-19, including controlling access and enforcing mask mandates. Despite over 19,000 cases in Guatemala, the town has only seen six cases, with two recoveries. The community also addresses violence, having organized patrols to combat gangs like Barrio 18 and Mara Salvatrucha. These patrols, armed for protection, also assist with social needs like water and food supply. Activists note that such groups often arise due to inadequate state protection against crime.
