“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, “said the president through social networks.
The peak and ID will apply as of this Monday, December 21, as follows:
* Even days: people whose ID is odd may leave
* Odd day: people whose ID is even may leave
This measure is applied to all types of commercial establishments where activities such as the acquisition and payment of goods and services are carried out; purchase of any product at retail and wholesale. These include banking, financial, notarial and citizen service entities in public entities.
This measure will only have exceptions to access health centers, pharmacies and funeral services, or in the case of notarial, banking, financial and administrative procedures where the simultaneous presence of two or more people is required.
From tomorrow the #PicoyCedula to Bogotá and only one member of the family makes purchases. We CANNOT relax and stop caring for ourselves. The agglomeration in commerce and the intensity of family gatherings are accelerating the contagion. Nor can we abuse the health sector. pic.twitter.com/YyMsa9GQTO

So we can all spend a merry Christmas and a happy New Year without having anything to regret, ”said López.
