San Salvador, August 10 (RHC)-- The constitutional chamber of El Salvador's Supreme Court of Justice declared an executive decree that would establish protocols for the gradual reopening of the economy as unconstitutional.

The court said President Nayib Bukele's decree "contradict constitutional parameters established" earlier to contain the spread of the new coronavirus.

"In every country in the world, governments are ordering reopening, gradually, to control the pandemic," Bukele said on Twitter.  "In El Salvador, today that is also unconstitutional."
