Former Andorran Health Minister Joan Martínez Benazet and ex-Finance Minister and government spokesman Eric Jover have detailed their frontline experiences managing the Covid-19 crisis in a new book, *Divendres 13. La pandèmia a Andorra*, published by Anem Editors.
The volume, released six years after the pandemic's onset, offers a first-person account of political and health responses during the uncertainty of the crisis. It outlines the reasoning behind key decisions in those challenging times and highlights Andorra's unique management approach, which the authors describe as "specific and differential" compared to neighbouring countries.

A presentation event featuring both authors is scheduled for Tuesday, 10 March, at the acts hall in the Escaldes-Engordany parish council building.
