Under the national state of emergency, the Ministry of Culture devised and conducted a national survey in collaboration with the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima to measure the impact of the state of emergency on the culture sector. The survey results were made public to inform citizens and allow decisions to be based on factual observation. Over 60 meetings were held with civil society representatives from various cultural and artistic sectors to hear their proposals for measures to respond to the impact of the health emergency. The government released nearly 50 million sol (US$ 13.9 million) in emergency aid for individuals and entities in the culture sector  and to purchase content.
