The authorities in Colombia take very seriously their mission to prevent the spread of the virus in the country, thus, they want citizens and commercial establishments to comply with the indications agreed by the Ministry of Health.
Indeed, during a massive operation in the city of Cartagena carried out by the Secretary of the Interior, the Metropolitan Police of Cartagena, the Navy, the DATT, Public Space, Distriseguridad, Migration Colombia, Dadis, Firefighters and local mayors, resulted in the suspension of commercial activity in four establishments and the sanctioning of six citizens with comparendos, for not complying with the measures established in the curfew.
In the locality of La Virgen and Turística, the authorities closed for three days the commercial establishment Casino Fantasía, which was operating after the allowed time. At the time of the operation, there were approximately 15 people inside the establishment, who were not complying with the biosecurity protocols.
"These actions, in which all the authorities with seat in Cartagena participate, are being developed and will be maintained, because, despite the actions taken, many citizens still ignore the measures adopted by decree," said David Múnera, Secretary of the Interior.
Similarly, in the Villagrande, Industrial and de la Bahía districts, two billiards, a discotheque and a bar were closed for operating after the permitted hours.
Finally, several warnings were imposed for violation of the measures of Decree 0561 of May 19, 2021, which establishes the curfew measure.
In view of these actions, the Secretary of the Interior, David Múnera Cavadía, said that the operations will continue this weekend and for as long as required, in order to slow down the transmission of the coronavirus.
