The Mayor and Naval personnel toured and reviewed the hurricane shelters, since this season's forecast predicts 15 to 19 hydrometeorological systems. The Mayor said, "As municipal authorities we have a commitment to protect the lives of our island families, and with the New Normality of Covid-19, all necessary measures are being taken to avoid infections, all necessary protocols will be applied, and in each shelter we will have a special classroom to attend to anyone who could present any symptoms of the disease." In addition to the municipal shelter, there are shelters located at the grade schools “Cesar Mendoza Santana” and “Julio Saury Espinoza” and at the middle school Benito Juarez, as well as at the facility of the union “SUTSAIM”, and at the facility of the taxi union “Gustavo Díaz Ordaz”.
He said that due to the health situation that is occurring, protocols have been designed for the entry and distribution of people who could occupy it and the classrooms have adapted to the New Normality, complying with the rules of the Secretary of Public Health for the Covid-19. pandemic
He said out that because a large percentage of islanders have companion pets, in coordination with the Isla Animals Association, a temporary anticyclonic shelter for pets will be provided with trained personnel to handle these cases, which will be located in a special area at the Mundaca Hacienda.
An effective measure to take care of your health is to stay home, avoid leaving if you don't need to go out, so that Covid-19 doesn't come to your home.

Turtles continue nesting in July. They can be observed mating offshore from Punta Sur
during this
month, and they nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and
volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen
outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres, Greens, Loggerheads,
and Hawksbills, and very rarely, a Leatherback will attempt to nest,
but generally the sand isn't sufficiently deep.Swimming with the whale sharks takes place in July, which ends annually in mid-September. They congregate and feed on a 'buffet' of plankton and fish eggs from a type of tuna. Rays are also attracted to the feeding areas. Photo by Tony Garcia
