Canada warns travellers as Lima enters state of emergency

TORONTO — The Canadian government has tightened its guidance for Peru-bound visitors after authorities in the Andean nation declared a 60-day state of emergency in sections of Lima Province and the neighboring port province of Callao. The heightened alert, in effect until July 16, empowers Peru’s military to support police, curb movement and conduct searches without warrants in specific districts of the capital’s sprawling metropolitan area.
