In a video uploaded to his social networks, Sheinbum affirmed that bars and party halls will only be able to operate as restaurants at 30% of their occupation and with sanitary measures.
The head of government of Mexico City commented that the reopening of new economic activities in Mexico City will depend on the measures taken by the population such as the use of face masks, keeping a healthy distance and frequent hand washing.
“In recent weeks the trend is slow, but downward. Why does hospitalization continue to decline in Mexico City, if we are opening activities? Mainly for two reasons: the first, the Detection, Protection and Safeguarding of COVID Cases and their Contacts program, which consists of people who have symptoms, call LOCATEL or send the SMS to 51515, they are oriented to take tests and in If they are positive, they are isolated for 15 days, both they and the people with whom they live and with whom they had contacts in the last days, in this way the chain of infections is cut.
“The second is because the vast majority of the population is taking preventive measures, the use of face masks, the Healthy Distance and frequent hand washing; I am convinced that we will be able to continue opening economic activities if we all continue to cooperate, ”she explained in a video on her social networks.
For this reason, he announced that for the following week Mexico City remains at the Orange Traffic Light with the reactivation of: Swimming pools without gyms, museums and cinemas, all at 30% occupancy and with filters and strict sanitary measures.
“In addition to avoiding the loss of more jobs, we are giving the opportunity for bars and party halls to change their business to operate as restaurants only from 7 in the morning to 10 at night, and at 30% occupancy and with all the sanitary measures that restaurants currently have “.
I repeat, the bars are not open, they can only switch to restaurants with the mandatory sanitary measures, “he said.
He urged vulnerable people to stay at home, and all those who leave home, to wear a mandatory mask.
“Do not forget, until there is a vaccine, the New Normal implies the use of face masks, the Sana Distancia and frequent hand washing. And at the slightest symptom, isolate yourself so as not to infect others and send an SMS with the word covid19 to 51515 or call LOCATEL. Together we will move forward ”, he stated.
