Because the state government's epidemiological light place Isla Mujeres in the Yellow status for risk of contagion of coronavirus, members of the program Social Participation Liasons "Yellow Caps" are urging the population to avoid Halloween parties & Day of the Dead gatherings.
While it is true that this is currently the New Normality, sanitary measures for the prevention of Covid-19 continue, and it is necessary for the population to intensify the correct use of face masks, frequent hand washing and use of antibacterial gel, and the implementation of healthy distancing.
In addition, everyone should avoid parties and gatherings of people to prevent the spread, especially when there is a risk of a second wave of the disease.
