President Iván Duque sent a forceful message to Colombians this Friday: “This will be a weekend with a holiday and, of course, we must be clear that this is not the time for rumbas or ‘pachangas’, that this is not time to be relaxed or to ruin the rules. ”
During the broadcast of the program ‘Prevention and Action’, the Head of State recalled that “the responsibility to take care of us belongs to everyone” and added that “the National Government, the mayors and governors can take action, but the participation of all citizens is required.”

“Colombia has shown so far, even with the growth of the last few days, figures that are encouraging compared to the world, but No one here can let their guard down, and what we require is everyone’s commitment, because only as a team will we succeed“he added.
In this Friday’s broadcast, General Óscar Atehortúa, director general of the National Police, explained that recreational outings and walks to the rivers are “prohibited.” He also invited to moderate alcohol consumption, since, in his words, “it leads to quarrels and domestic violence.”

The National Police, said Atehortúa, will be walking the streets of the cities to avoid parties and clandestine meetings. Plus, you’re going to make sure that bars, clubs, billiards, crazy houses, and motels are closed.
More than 1,400 National Police checkpoints, as well as drones and helicopters on the roads, will monitor compliance with the standards established by the National Government.
“The National Police does not have the objective of sanctioning citizens, but rather controlling offenders,” said Atehortúa.
