Although a scenario is generated where the Covid-19 contagions increase exponentially, the strategy focused on the closure of activities in Mexico City will not be followed, reported the head of government, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
In a press conference, the official ruled out that the path of further closures of local economic activities would be followed, since they do not want to increase the unemployment rate.
And rest assured that, if it starts to increase, we will report it. But the strategy can no longer be to close economic activities because it has many impacts, or to close school activities; The strategy has to be to get vaccinated and together help us take care of ourselves, ”he said.
He specified that as a current measure, more Covid-19 test modules have already begun to operate in the capital’s shopping centers. At the same time, the vaccination plan was reinforced.
“The strategy we are doing for this week is that we are expanding the number of tests of the 117 Health Centers three times; So, if you want to take a free trial, there are 117 Health Centers, as of today they already have three times the tests they were doing in the previous days. In addition, we are in the shopping centers, also, reactivating some of the test kiosks ”, he stressed.
