As of this Tuesday, September 22, the District authorizes the opening of religious centers to hold their meetings respecting all the biosafety protocols established in resolution 1120 of 2020 of the Ministry of Health.

The decision was made taking into account the favorable behavior of the contagion indicators and the lowest ICU occupancy that has occurred in Bogotá in recent months.

“Thanks to the self-care and self-control behavior that most citizens have, the rate of contagion allows us to reopen Bogotá more, being aware that we will have a second peak again in the month of November, that as it is arranged with the epidemiological model of the city, it will not represent an overflow of the hospital capacity ”, said Luis Ernesto Gómez, Secretary of Government, referring to the opening of the religious temples.
