Boca del Río, Ver.- Despite the fact that the municipality of Boca del Río passed an epidemiological semaphore of maximum risk of Covid-19 infections there will be no closure of beaches so as not to affect the economy or tourism but the population will be asked to respect the sanitary measures, informed the director of Civil Protection, Andrés Escalera Pavón.

In addition, he clarified that all service providers as in shopping malls are carrying out health protocols.

“ Access is not going to be restricted, but if we are inviting people, exhorting them, we want people to take care of what we are experiencing, commerce is the one that has suffered too much and it is they who must take the necessary measures so that the people who go to their establishments do so with enough security, “he said.

He commented that daily tours are made in the boulevard area to ask the population to wear their mask and to respect the healthy distance.
