Don’t let your guard down, insists Sheinbaum
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo stressed that during the past week in which there was a stabilization in hospitalizations, so next week the same activities of the ‘Reactivate without Risking’ program will be maintained.

Given this, the doctor considered that it is necessary to maintain sanitary measures to avoid a rebound in hospital admissions.

“We believe that we have to be cautious and, at the same time, the call to citizens is not to lower our guard, we are positive in the sense that there are vaccines, that older adults are being vaccinated, but that does not mean that we are lowering the guard, “he said.

The local president pointed out that in the capital there are enough beds in hospitals.

I ask that we not stop taking care of ourselves: 1. No parties or gatherings; 2. No closed places without ventilation; 3. Healthy distance; 4. Hand washing; 5. Face shield; 6. If you have symptoms, get tested. The # Covid19 does not go on vacation. Let’s continue without lowering our guard, “Sheinbaum Pardo emphasized.
