The Minister of Health, Luis Francisco Sucre, reiterated the call to the population that during this month of December, which are celebrated several festivities, not to lower their guard, maintain biosecurity measures and go to be vaccinated to complete the complete scheme against Covid-19.
Sucre warned the population that December last year cannot happen when after the celebrations there was a considerable increase in infections and deaths, forcing a quarantine to be applied.
The minister was categorical in pointing out that Christmas parades are prohibited to celebrate in streets and avenues, since in this type of activity there is no way to control the entry of vaccinated and unvaccinated or compliance with biosecurity measures.
