A trans woman has ended up in court due to Panama’s unusual quarantine rules which only allow men and women to leave their homes on different days.
Under the Ministry of Health rules, women may do essential shopping on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Men can go out for the same reasons on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
And nobody may leave home on Sundays. Moreover, the time of day you are allowed out of your home depends on the last digit of your national identification card or passport.
