The Peruvian government declared earlier this week a new state of emergency for the districts of San Juan de Lurigancho and San Martin de Porras as well as the Piura region.
“You should be especially vigilant and take particular care to avoid all areas of large gatherings, demonstrations and protests,” said the FCDO.
“If possible, you should remain in a safe place, follow the authorities’ advice, and monitor local media, including social media channels.”
