being informed as confirmed cases, although some confirmed cases were retested. but since april 12, 2020, the confirmed cases are already being tallied separately from the positive tests. on august 23, 2021, a death was reclassified. casesdeaths the first four cases, all imported, were reported on 13 march. one of them had attended a wedding with 500 people, and two others had taken a six-hour bus trip from montevideo to salto. some of the other passengers on this ride were contacted by the authorities and developed symptoms. on 14 march, it was announced that the two patients who took the bus ride on 8 march generated some 200 contacts, who were categorized as suspected cases with home quarantine recommended. local transmission was established with two non-imported cases reported on 15 march. the first patients showed mild symptoms of covid-19. in the preceding days, more than 60 suspected cases had been analyzed and ruled out at air and sea ports in uruguay. it is believed that the relatively late arrival of covid-19 cases in uruguay is related, among other things, to the country's scarce direct air connections with the countries most affected by the virus: china, germany, northern italy, iran, and south korea. on 15 march a doctor who works at two medical institutions tested positive. the patients who had visited him and the members of the medical team were contacted. on 16 march, it was announced that one of the infected people was at a wedding in paraguay and later on friday, 6 march, went to a uruguayan first division football club pre-game meeting, which generated at least 20 suspected contacts. on 17 march it was learned that other wedding attendees, three students at a private university who had attended in-person classes since then, had tested positive for the coronavirus. their classmates were asked to quarantine. of the first 29 confirmed cases, 26 were in the capital of montevideo, which is home to about a third of the country's population. two cases were in salto and one in maldonado. nine of the cases were imported and the remaining twenty were transmitted from one of the confirmed cases. many of these early cases were related to a 7 march wedding in carrasco with 500 people, attended by a returnee from spain who later developed symptoms and tested positive for covid-19. of the country's first 55 cases, 44 were traced to the wedding. the passenger returning from spain later said, "i asked if there were any measures at the airport because i was coming from europe and they said no." uruguayan doctor martín stryjewski said that a "cultural change" was necessary. in uruguay it is common to greet people with a kiss on the cheek; stryjewski recommended that people instead greet each other without touching. he also recommended that people avoid sharing mate, a uruguayan beverage that is traditionally drunk communally, sharing a straw. he advised that people use diluted bleach to clean frequently touched surfaces. in early april, an outbreak was discovered at the hospital vilardebó. the hospital was closed and placed under quarantine as a result. response after the first cases were confirmed, various measures were introduced. public performances were canceled, and some public places were closed. the gremial única del taxi union asked passengers not to sit on the front seat of taxis. all political parties temporarily suspended campaign events ahead of the municipal elections, which were postponed from may to september. movie theaters started requiring customers to sit on every other seat. catholic bishops modified some ceremonies. shopping centers were closed on 17 march 2020 and the interior minister advised residents to stay home as much as possible. the university of the republic cancelled classes on 13 march 2020, and later announced plans for distance learning for the remainder of the semester. the government announced a two-week suspension of classes at public and private schools on saturday, 14 march. schools were to remain open to provide meals to students, but without classes. the suspension of classes was extended to 13 april and beyond that. a plan to let students return to school on a voluntary basis starting in june 2020 was announced by president luis lacalle pou on 21 may 2020. students transitioned to online classes using the computers and online tools that had already been set up through the ceibal project. private schools that don't use ceibal instead started using zoom, cisco webex, whatsapp, google classroom, and moodle. on 16 march, the government issued an order to close all border crossings except carrasco international airport. the border with argentina was closed effective 17 march at midnight. the closure included river and air travel. president luis lacalle pou said that the idea of closing the border with brazil was "a little more complex", because it is a dry land border, and many people living near the border live a "binational life". lacalle pou advised people over 65 to stay at home. flights from the united states were suspended effective 18 march, and from europe effective 20 march at midnight (00:00), at which point the airport was to close. the government recommended remote work and not traveling, and introduced a free service for medical consultation by phone. to free up hospital beds, surgeries were permitted to be rescheduled. the ministry of the interior announced that patrol officers would circulate with loudspeakers asking citizens not to meet in large groups. temperature checks were introduced in prisons and activities for prisoners restricted. on 17 march, the ministry of economy and finance published a list of prices of products such as alcohol gel, rectified alcohol, and surgical masks, in order to prevent price gouging. the list gave locations where the products could be obtained and their prices at each location. on 18 march, the government said "everything is on the table", including the possibility of a "general quarantine", to address the virus. amid thousands of unemployment insurance claims, the government announced subsidies and other
