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.
