The spread of the COVID-19 has generated a global rupture of routines and everyday life. The situation for informal settlements is exceptionally delicate due to their socio-economic conditions and the restrictions imposed by the quarantine to contain the virus. In this brief piece, we present our reflections about the quarantine in relation to urban informality. Most of our discussion is centered on an informal settlement in Bogotá: El Codito sector. We reflect on the quarantine as a privilege that not everyone possesses, as well as on the materiality of the quarantine and the possible suspensions of informal powers. We suggest considering the potentialities and capacities of informal settlements to help flatten the curve and navigate the crisis.

COVID-19的传播在全球范围内破坏了日常生活和日常生活。由于非正式定居点的社会经济条件以及检疫部门对遏制该病毒施加的限制，这种情况极为脆弱。在这篇简短的文章中，我们对隔离与城市非正式性的关系提出了自己的看法。我们大部分的讨论都集中在波哥大的非正式定居点：El Codito部门。我们将检疫视为不是每个人都拥有的特权，并考虑到检疫的实质性和非正式权力的可能中止。我们建议考虑非正式住区的潜力和能力，以帮助拉平曲线和应对危机。
