Yesterday...
From the City (Ayuntamiento de Isla Mujeres)
12/17-- The Mayor said that while the number of cases in the municipality has been declining, holiday parties could cause them to increase, so he encouraged residents to avoid posadas (parties) and gatherings, and reminded them to use face masks correctly. He said use of face masks is mandatory according to a decree by the state government, as a measure to contain the spread of C-19, which is increasing in the state. People who don't have to leave to go to work are encouraged to stay at home.
He said if health measures against the disease are neglected and large parties and get-togethers are held, or visiting of relatives, this is when the risk of Covid-19 contagion occurs. He commented that according to the objectives of the state plan "Reactivemos/Reactivating Quintana Roo ", to strengthen the various prevention programs of the state government and in agreement with the decree issued by Governor, making use of face masks mandatory throughout the state, in upcoming days Public Security would be rolling out random operations, mostly at night. The Mayor called upon the business community to continue to implement and resume all health measures, noting that returning to Orange on the state epidemiological light would have catastrophic consequences for the economy of our municipality.
The Mayor wrote--Remember to avoid the contagion of Covid-19 it is important to always wear face masks when you leave your home. The graphic says Face masks help to prevent contagion of Covid-19.
The City has announced they the annual employees posada-party won't be held this year, and the turkeys will be delivered to avoid gatherings.

Sunday,
Dec 13-14 Peaking of the Geminid meteor shower--This is one of the two
best showers of the year (the other is August Perseids). The sky will be
dark all night (new moon) & the largest numbers will be visible
around 2a (when the radiant point is highest in the sky). But you should
see them from mid evening until dawn, weather permitting. There should
be a 'smattering' of meters the nights before & after, and it builds
to a peak the week before. This shower features meteors that tend to be
bold, white and quick, with up to 50-150 per hour when peaking in
optimal conditions, like this year's moonless sky. On Dec. 11,12,13, the
slender lunar crescent and planet Venus will rise in the eastern sky at
or near dawn.
Posadas Navidenas Dec 16-24 will presumably be suspended along with the two decorated Caravans.
