Saturday morning from MVC B&B--
Saturday's daily report is confusing because our municipality is now
reporting 220 cases, although this number was 222 yesterday. On October
26th, the number of positives increased from 220 to 221, and on
November 3rd it increased to 222, where it has been since then. The
other numbers align with yesterday's report with 20 deaths and 187
recovered.
The state geoportal continues to report just 1 active case by colonia, in Salina Chica.
On the national map for 11/6, the municipality reports 149 suspicious and 109 negatives (and 222 positives with 20 deaths)
From the City (Ayuntamiento de Isla Mujeres)
FOLLOW THE HEALTH PROTOCOL SIGNS ON ISLA MUJERES BEACHES
The use of face masks and antibacterial gel, as well as healthy distancing, are mandatory measures on island beaches
Given the Covid-19 pandemic that remains active in several countries,
the City government, headed by Mayor Juan Carrillo Soberanis, continues to
strengthen health protocols and healthy distancing on the beaches of Isla
Mujeres.
The goal of the municipal government is to reactivate
in an orderly and responsible way, always prioritizing the health of the
population, which is why through ZOFEMAT (Federal Zone agency), preventive measures are maintained at its various beaches to help
prevent the spread of the virus.
In that sense, ZOFEMAT Director Kerem Pinto
Aguilar emphasized that there is a strict
protocol to enter the beaches, therefore, in conjunction with other units such as the National Guard, the Municipal Police, the municipal Department of Civil Protection
and Firefighters and the municipal Fiscalizacion (Control) Department, they conduct ongoing tours to monitor that preventive measures are being done correctly.
The Director pointed out that the purpose is to reactivate responsibly
in compliance with established standards to care for everyone's health.
′′The beaches are essential to the recovery of the municipality, we can
enjoy them with all the health measures to avoid a setback of the state
epidemiological light, since that would involve closing the beaches again."
Pinto Aguilar stressed that the population plays a very
important role in maintaining a balance and they must continue to carry
out protocols such as the correct use of face masks (cover up nose and
mouth), maintaining healthy distance and frequent hand washing or use of antibacterial gel.
′′Isla Mujeres is back on its feet, waiting for
visitors with beaches in optimal conditions and certificates with
protocols to prevent infections of Covid-19," concluded the official.
The City government recognized the first and second place winners in the "Calaveritas" Literary contest, who were Mauricio Solis Martinez and Jesus Enrique Dzul Chulin. One essay was about the deceased discoverer of the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks, who was known ans "Valvula", titled, Swimming into the Unknown. Another featured historical characters from Isla Mujeres such as the pirate Fermin Mundaca. The Director of the municipal Youth Department Rubí Lora Sosa said, ′′It is very important to conserve and strengthen our traditions and that young people become involved in our Mexican culture, so that it prevails and they don't adopt socio-cultural models from other countries."
We invite you to visit our beaches with the distinctive Blue Flag designation.
Saturday--Approximately one and a half tons of vegetation were collected by the municipal government. A crew of 9 people began at 5am, to perform maintenance work at public spaces in various colonias, as a clean-up following the recent storms. They were weeding, pruning, and removing organic trash, which amounted to about a ton and a half, at the following locations-- colonias “La Gloria”, “El Cañotal”, “Meteorológica”, “Salina Chica”, avenues “Paseo de los Peces” and “Paseo de las Aves”, “El Malecón”, “Salina Grande” and the “Domo Bicentenario”. They plan to continue this work in other areas of the municipality to meet the needs of the population and maintain the good image that characterizes this vacation destination.
The City reaffirms its commitment to keeping the streets, avenues, parks and gardens of the island in optimal condition, but it is essential that the general population collaborate with the conservation of these areas, and avoid littering there or on public roads. The green areas of the municipality are continually given attention and maintenance, and it is important to preserve and respect our natural attractions so that in addition to beautifying the urban areas, a better future will be achieved.
On Monday thru Friday, 10a-2p, twenty people daily can receive the influenza vaccine at the CRIM facility, who are in the vulnerable category which includes adults over 60 & children under 5, persons with disabilities and those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, lung problems including asthma & COPD, obesity, or immuno-suppression. It is important to follow health protocols including face masks, healthy distancing and hygiene measures.
There were 209 beneficiaries on the island of the federal "Older Adult Benefit Pension" who received their payments delivered directly to their homes, with hygiene measures and healthy distancing, so the senior citizens wouldn't risk exposing themselves to the coronoavirus.
