Hundreds of People Imprisoned in El Salvador Quarantine Centers Demand Release
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In El Salvador, hundreds of people detained in government facilities,
allegedly aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus, held a protest
Monday demanding to be freed and be given the results of their COVID-19
tests. At least 300 people have been held in two centers in the capital
San Salvador for over a month as the Salvadoran government has been
apprehending residents accused of violating the country's strict
coronavirus lockdown.
