La Paz, July 10 (RHC)-- In Bolivia, work crews have been digging mass graves for COVID-19 victims in Cochabamba, after a local cemetery stopped accepting victims of the disease.  A surge in coronavirus cases has also overwhelmed hospitals in El Alto and La Paz. 

Mary Ticona, a nurse who joined a protest of healthcare workers demanding personal protective equipment and coronavirus tests, told reporters: “We collapsed about two months ago.  We are attending to our people as we can, on stretchers, in wheelchairs, however we can attend to them.  We have collapsed.”
