BOGOTA—Colombia’s mandatory quarantine has been extended by a further week until May 31, President Ivan Duque said on Tuesday, the fourth extension to a lockdown intended to curb the spread of the CCP virus.

The Andean country has nearly 17,000 confirmed cases of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, also known as the novel coronavirus, and more than 600 deaths. It began the quarantine in late March.
