In María Paz there is no quarantine or orange alert that weighs so that people remain in their homes. Although the isolation there must be strict, due to the high rate of contagion and death from coronavirus, its proximity to the largest food market in the country, means that there are crowds every day. Fruit street vendors, vendors, merchants, butchers, pedicabs and even sex workers all converge on the sidewalks of this neighborhood in the town of Kennedy. Hence, the national government, through the Minister of Agriculture, has taken the reins of the protocols to avoid contagion.

On the morning of this May 12, Mayor Claudia López was in an emergency meeting with Minister Rodolfo Zea and the Governor of Cundinamarca, Nicolás García, to restrict entry to Corabastos, where there are already 12 confirmed infected. Among the three entities, they will monitor that the occupation of the wholesale plaza, which supplies food to the capital and the department, does not exceed 35%. In addition, they will tighten the protocols for carts full of food from all parts of the country, which arrive from dawn to supply the warehouses.
This is the daily life in quarantine that the María Paz neighborhood lives, adjacent to the entrance 7,8 and 9 of Corabastos:
