On 17th June Chile was running at 53.12 cases per 100k pop.
Having fallen every day since then Chile is now 7.01 cases per 100k.
It is falling slowly, but it continues to fall.
Schools are starting to go back, but the year ends in 5 weeks anyway. Summer holidays until March.
Other than the schools, it seems to me that the Chileans are far more willing to change their routines and lives to avoid the virus than the Brits (going by the media reports from England, dangerous I know). All shops have very low capacities, no eating or drinking inside, every shop, office or other establishment has someone on the door checking masks, temperatures and spraying alcohol gel around.
Ditto buses & metro.
It is very very rare you see someone without a mask. And they get ticketed if an official sees them - about £120, I think.
And of course we're late spring here, so the weather is helping.
