Tuesday night, Governor Joaquin reported that 97% of adult residents have received at least one dose and 81% are fully vaccinated against C-19, making Quintana Roo one of the top three states leading the nation in vaccination rates.
Flu vaccines are now available from 9a-12p weekdays at the Town Hall or the Community Hospital for residents over 60 or under 5 years of age, pregnant women, or those 5 to 59 with a comorbidity.
Wednesday....The municipal police plan to continue carrying out operations to verify that motorcycles and cars have current plates and registrations and their drivers have valid licenses. Sanctions will be issued for those with expired registrations/plates but drivers lacking a current license will not be fined. This is because the police department is temporarily unable to issue licenses due to a lack of materials, but they have submitted a request to the municipal government.
Work improving the Town Square was inaugurated Wednesday, which the Mayor expects to help with the island's economic recovery, along with the improvements being made at Punta Sur. This project includes 1650 square meters of stamped concrete, with benches with tables and LED lights, as well as a 185 square-meter kiosk with ramps, at a cost of 7.1 million pesos.
