Anti-government protests in Bolivia amid COVID-19 outbreak

Bolivia’s government has ordered the police and military to protect key installations as anti-government protests break out across the country in the midst of a coronavirus outbreak. 

Protesters demanding early elections have put up roadblocks which are paralyzing the country.   

Tensions are brewing as the interim president Jeanine Anez has postponed key presidential elections until October 18 due to the pandemic.
