Juarez City.- Given the increase in infections by Covid-19 in the state, the governor, Javier Corral confirmed that this Thursday the possibility of returning to Chihuahua to the red color at the epidemiological traffic light will be proposed to the State Health Council.
In his participation in the “Medical Merit” ceremony that took place from the Government Palace in the city of Chihuahua, the State Executive indicated that actors from economic, political and social life will be invited to the State Council meeting so that they can participate in making decisions regarding the application of new restrictions arising from the pandemic.
“We are facing a social and economic challenge that demands all sensitivity and empathy, even more so in the face of the thousands of lives lost and the upswings that the pandemic has shown globally. Currently, Chihuahua and its medical staff resent the consequences of not taking seriously preventive measures, ”he said.
Corral Jurado pointed out that this Thursday the State Health Council was convened with the intention of analyzing a series of proposals to incorporate new restrictions on the mobility of Chihuahuan society.
“We invite to this consultation space several fundamental actors of economic, social and political life to participate in the analysis of these actions and where it will be proposed to return to the red color in the Covid risk traffic light”, he commented.
The governor indicated that individualism, selfishness and the lack of awareness and discipline in society are what is “defeating” health personnel.
Likewise, the governor indicated that due to the increase in the number of infections, special attention will be paid to public and personal transport to ensure that prevention measures against Covid-19 are complied with, in addition to requesting that fines be applied to those who do not wear masks in public spaces and also for citizens who have parties on weekends.
The president assured that due to the situation, it is intended to enact a dry law in the state of Chihuahua during the weekends until control can be regained.
“The celebration of parties everywhere was what triggered the contagion, we opened the yellow color and people felt that we were in green and that everything could be as before and it is not like that (…) we need to impose sanctions on those who do not use masks and those who organize parties, “he said.
He also assured that in the case of Juárez, it will be proposed to restrict mobility, in addition to requiring that all activities close after ten at night.
“The intention is that after today’s meeting, from tomorrow the entire state will return to red because we are in a very complicated moment,” he said.
