The vehicle restriction began on Thursday night from 10:30 at night until five in the morning, and in coastal municipalities from nine at night to five in the morning, with the purpose of discouraging people from going to parties, social or recreational events of any kind, in order to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19 in Yucatan.

Also, those who are dedicated to the provision of cargo transportation service for the supply of essential activities other than self-service stores, whose supply must be made within the specified hours; vehicles used by media personnel to carry out their coverage, operation, and production work.
