Alicia Covarrubias, 73, has owned her market in Tecámac, a municipality in Mexico, for 40 years. She has never experienced anything like the coronavirus situation. She decided not to close her store because it is how she earns her living and opted instead to prevent infection by keeping people at a safe distance.
