LIMA (Reuters) - Amid a strict quarantine in Peru to slow the spread of a coronavirus pandemic, men and women will only be allowed to leave their homes on designed days divided up by gender, the country's President Martin Vizcarra said on Thursday.

The South American country will impose a rule which means on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only men will be able to leave their homes to stock up. Women can go out on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. No-one at all can leave home on Sunday.
