“In this sense and given the need to restart medical examinations in the Medical Units and that up to now we have coordinated according to the epidemiological traffic light established by the Ministry of Health, it is foreseeable that By September 17 or October 1, 2020, it is necessary to reopen the Medical Units to the public”, Informed Ricardo Neri Vela, director of the agency.
Likewise, the body dependent on the Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SCT) asked the operators to adhere to the health protocols established by the authorities once the offices are back in operation.
