Since Monday, the cases of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have risen considerably and a very clear reflection is that in the latest report from the Ministry of Health, 36 new patients are announced for the municipality, and that worries the Mayor

Mazatlan, Sinaloa.- Mayor Luis Guillermo Benítez Torres was forceful, and without hesitation, warned that if the active cases of the COVID -19 virus do not show a downward trend, he will order the total closure of Mazatlán.

That is, they would enter confinement again for three months because beyond the reopening of the tourist sector, the beaches, and the commercial activity there is the health of all citizens and he as an authority cannot allow the pandemic to take hold in the town.

And more because since Monday the active cases of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have risen considerably and a very clear reflection is that in the latest report from the Ministry of Health, 36 new patients are announced for Mazatlan, which is one of the two municipalities that are in red due to the pandemic.

“If they continue to increase, we will have to close the city again, depending on how the growth goes. Since Monday I gave the instruction to tighten the filters that we have and logically we have to give it a few days to see if we stay up and if it continues to rise we will begin to close … no, it could be three months again, “he said.

The Municipality made an energetic call to the population to do their part and not “lower their guard” on the issue of prevention because even in public spaces many people have been seen without mouth covers or keeping a healthy distance.

“It depends on everyone, not only on the government because we are not the bad guys in the film because we all have to do our part so that this does not continue to grow and we have to close everything… remember, mainly the people who live from tourism what we went through those three months, “he said.

The mayor said that as an authority they have implemented and reinforced the health protocols, created the traffic light for beaches and now, that of bars, clubs and restaurants to have greater control of the pandemic. But, above all, the preventive work of citizens is of great importance.
