“We have very clear guidelines to continue taking steps towards the control of the pandemic, but also the safe reactivation, and have alert levels, such as the occupation of the Intensive Care Units (ICU), which must always be one of the most relevant indicators for the decision-making of the Ministry of Health with the local governments, “said the President.
This means that the restrictions on public events, discos and dance venues are maintained, and the consumption of intoxicating beverages in public spaces and commercial establishments that are not in pilot.
Additionally, the president warned that if there is a negative variation in the behavior of the pandemic or an increase in the use of ICU beds, they will take specific measures.
