“Honestly, it is a nonsense and in Colombia this term is nothing more than an inappropriate decision, because this is exposing ourselves. We already see what is happening in Europe, where they are closing their various sectors due to the increase in new cases, “explains Mayor Ospina.
The president of the Caleños considers that with this determination the entry of a new strain of the coronavirus would be possible on a large scale and that new reinfection processes occur in the country.

“What one must do in processes like this is that every international traveler is biosecure and does not come with the infection, since the covid-19 can be asymptomatic or that the person is in a state of incubation and not feverish. The best way to restrict and minimize the risks of a community is to have PCR or immunological tests, which make it possible to know if you have a health passport, “said Mayor Ospina, who is a doctor by profession.
