This Tuesday, November 16, the requirement of vaccination card to adults for him entry to public establishments with large capacity And the concern hovers around the entertainment industry, as there is no clarity on how the controls will be applied, especially if one takes into account that this very night there is a litmus test with the match between the teams of Colombia and Paraguay, an event for which massive attendance of public to bars and restaurants is anticipated.

In Antioquia, Juan Pablo Valenzuela, president of Asobares, assured that even there is uncertainty about how to control whether the documents presented by clients are authentic or false and there is no clarity on what are the sanctions to which a local or establishment that does not enforce the requirement is subjected or on which authority is going to exercise control, if the National Police or the Ministry of Health.
“We have had meetings with the Ministry of Health, but they were not clear about it, they were to inform us how the issue was going to be developed, but to date the sanctions, the authority, are not clear in what way the control, if they are going to arrive at a certain time of night to ask everyone for a card or if they are going to stop people at the entrance, that concern persists, “said the union leader to EL COLOMBIANO.
He argued that although by custom each establishment has had entry and security controls at the entrances, as a requirement of a citizenship card for some people whose age of majority is not evidenced by their physical appearance and searches for carrying weapons and other items, the requirement of the immunological card would add one more function to these personnel and in many cases would imply that the locals reinforce this group.
In turn, Valenzuela warned that although the measure is complicated, his union has always been on the side of accelerating the vaccination processes and being consistent with this he expressed that “if it is going to work and it is going to encourage people to follow vaccinating, is a measure that we support ”, although he said he was not clear if at first it would reduce their clientele.
For this same night, in the development of the Colombia-Paraguay game for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Asobares does not calculate what could happen, since it is customary for people to go en masse to the establishments to watch the games while enjoying the consumption of liquor or food.
He expressed that this sporting event will be a kind of pilot test for what is coming, but said that they had not analyzed the particular case. There are doubts, he hinted.
The following days, Wednesday and Thursday, will serve to refine the task in front of the measure for the weekend apply it with the greatest disposition and efficiency in accordance with the provisions of the Ministry of Health.
“We hope that when we get to the weekend the authorities will better explain to us how to apply the norm to avoid that, instead of encouraging economic reactivation, it ends up being an obstacle,” said Valenzuela, noting that there was a lack of socialization on the subject.
