From the City (Ayuntamiento de Isla Mujeres)
Yesterday (Thursday) the municipal police department held a "Live Safe" event at the Bicentennial Dome which provided precise information to the citizenry, as well as generating bonds of trust and closeness between the police and the community. The event included informational modules, police dogs and the Quintana Roo police orchestra. It was conducted with respect to hygiene protocols for the prevention of contagion of C-19.
The municipal DIF (social service agency) continues to support the vulnerable members of the community on the island and on the mainland part of the municipality in the face of this pandemic with donation tables. Thanks to donations by the Chedraui company, they continue to distribute yogurt and pastries and have assisted 1221 individuals and families in the first months of the year who have been most affected by the pandemic.
Municipal DIF Director Yuseli López Tec explained that in addition to the tables that are regularly installed at the DIF facilities on both the island and Continental Zone, various programs have been implemented because, she said, "We know that many have lost their family's only source of livelihood to the health situation."

hands with enough water and soap to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

pregame activities at 12-12:30 sometimes), at the Pescador field in
front of Chedrui, when they were scheduled.
Friday, March
5th: When public events were held, there was an annual ceremony
commemorating the arrival of Francisco Hernandez Cordoba in
1517, who is credited with discovering the Yucatan and what is now
Mexico, after landing on Isla Mujeres. This will presumably be conducted
with a limited number of officials (without inviting the public) or
virtually. The expedition of 110 men and 3
boats sailed from Cuba and and around the coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula, battling with
the Maya, until all but one were injured, and over 50 died. The
uninjured fellow went missing when they visited Florida, and Hernandez
Cordoba died after returning to Cuba.
