The mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López, trilled a message of concern about the increase in cases of covid-19 in the capital. “We have been considerate of families and businesses this Christmas season, understanding the difficult year. But there does not seem to be a conscious and co-responsible response and the contagion grows again in a worrying way. We will have to take more careful measures “
Although it is not yet known if new measures are being considered to prevent the capacity in commerce from overflowing or in more confinement measures, the truth is that the increase in cases already puts the authorities on alert. The latest report speaks of 4,155 cases in the capital.
We have been considerate of families and business this holiday season by understanding the difficult year. But there does not seem to be a conscious and co-responsible response and the contagion grows again in a worrying way. We will have to take more careful measures.

For now, the District Government has not given a date for new pronouncements. According to figures from the Ministry of Health, Bogotá registers a total of 425,914 cases of covid-19 of the 1,496. 062 nationwide.
It will depend on the civic culture and the will to care of the people of Bogotá that the covid-19 does not pass a collection account in 2021 to their families. That has been the central message that remained from the measures announced by Mayor Claudia López for this December.
Among the recommendations is that those people who want to celebrate Christmas in face-to-face meetings carry out individual voluntary isolation starting this Tuesday (and for the next eight days) and do the novenas virtually to avoid “spending the epidemiological quota” before the 24 from December.
Fulfilling them depends on the judgment of the citizens: “We are not going to put a police officer next to him, we are not imposing restrictions on him. But it is our obligation to give concrete recommendations,” said López.
“These measures are to protect their parents, their mothers, their grandparents. We do not believe that we have a risk of collapse of the hospital system. But we have to take care that the speed of contagion does not skyrocket,” Lopez insisted.
