In Cancun, State officials say that as of this week, signs will be placed in and around high-risk infection areas of Downtown Cancun. Governor Carlos Joaquín announced that this week, through the Ministry of Public Security, informative signs will be placed in what are considered high risk areas throughout the city of Cancun.
Carlos Joaquín was also reported to say that this will help prevent the spread and generation of more sick people, noting that this is particularly important now that the epidemic in Quintana Roo is at the highest part of the contagion curve in Phase 3.
It is essential that we stay home during this time and preventive measures are applied more strictly. We are at the Peak of the contagion curve and we have hope of a gradual And steady decline before the first days of June,” said the governor.
Carlos Joaquín explained that a gradual plan to return to work is already being Evaluated with measures of social distancing taken into consideration, but that everything depends on people continuing to apply the preventive measures as they have up until now.
In a public address, the governor explained that the signposting of high-risk areas is similar to a program being carried out in Mexico City where the most contagious places of Covid-19 were geo-referenced, that is, where the coronavirus cases are known to be located.
“We have been working on geo-referencing here in Cancun, and finally we have the study ready and will place signs in areas of the greatest contamination. People can be more careful not to go into these areas. It is still adviseable to stay at home and ensure you practice proper sanitary measures if you do go out,” he explained.
Carlos Joaquín says the signs will be placed at 40 points in six zones of Downtown Cancun where at least 30 percent of reported cases have been located. Most people who contracted Coronavirus in these areas appear to have done so at Bus Stops and Markets.
