Likewise, the establishments are notified that if they comply with these provisions, they will receive an administrative sanction.

Those in charge of the businesses will be in charge of requesting the certificate from the clients, in addition to keeping control of the temperatures of both the employees and the clients.

Employees of the shops of the Center said they were ready to start applying the new mechanisms to help stop this wave of infections.

Merchants will be responsible for ensuring that clients comply with the vaccination certificate

The Municipality specified that it has a list of the states where the COVID vaccine has already been applied, and for all those tourists the certificate will also be mandatory, if not, they will be prohibited from entering the public spaces of Mazatlán.  

“There are some states that have already been vaccinated, and in those states we are going to require them, for example; Durango, Zacatecas, Chihuahua, with the exception of Tamaulipas because they are missing in some places because they are vaccinated, with the exception of Baja California Norte because well, there are some parts that have not been vaccinated “

“… but we already have a list of places that can present their certificate,” he said. 

There will be flexibility for those who are not vaccinated against Covid-19, they will be able to present a test that is negative

The first committed to apply the protocols health are the entrepreneurs, thus supporting the measure requesting the certificate of vaccination in public spaces.

In addition, he added that there will be flexibility for those who wish to enter a place and who at the moment cannot present a certificate of vaccination against Covid19, but who can present a negative test.

” There is a flexibility, for those who cannot have their vaccination certificate at the moment because they can present a negative test, there I think there is some flexibility, ” he concluded.
