(See: Bogotá expects the fourth peak of covid infections between January and February).

The rule applies to the population that is going to enter public or private events and entertainment venues. And you can show that you already have the complete scheme with the physical or digital vaccination card.

Germán Escobar, Vice Minister of Public Health and Provision of Services (e), stated that “What you are looking for this requirement is to have greater security and tranquility in the face of the possibility of contagion in these spaces“.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The first thing to keep in mind is where will it be required the complete scheme for the population over 12 years of age.

The answer is that it will be required in massive events such as concerts, fairs and places such as restaurants, bars, gastrobars, cinemas, discos, dance venues, concerts, casinos, bingo halls, or stadiums, amusement and theme parks or museums.

(See: This is the first anticovid vaccine made in Latin America).

The second, they argued from the Ministry of Health, is that this requirement “It is not an open letter to lower your guard with fundamental safety measures, such as the use of a mask, hand washing and social distancing“.

Finally, Vice Minister Escobar invited parents to take their children to be vaccinated and asked the population, in general, to come to receive their doses, thinking about the end of the year festivities.

“Vaccination will allow us to share these last days of the year safely and
prepare for the entrance to classes of our boys and girls on the calendar
2022 school year”, He declared.
