Yucatan changes to epidemiological green traffic light

Mérida, Yucatán, (November 19, 2021).- With the change to green in the color of the state epidemiological traffic light after the marked decrease in the indicators that measure the behavior of the Coronavirus pandemic and the significant advance in vaccination, the Secretariat of Salud de Yucatán (SSY) announced that as of next Monday, November 22, the operation will be authorized until 2 in the morning with a capacity of 75% of economic activities of any kind, which are currently allowed.

As part of the measures that will be applied to this change, the state agency reported that, as of Monday, January 24, 2022, mass events and shows will be allowed, following the established protocols.

It is worth mentioning that the activities not mentioned here continue to operate with the same current schedules and protocols.

However, the SSY calls on the population not to lower their guard and maintain preventive measures such as the use of face masks, healthy distance and hand washing.

Likewise, the state agency invited the population that has not been able to receive their vaccine, to attend the three permanent coronavirus vaccination modules that will be installed in Mérida, as well as in the interior of the state, as of Monday, November 22, for the application of vaccines from the pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca, Sinovac and Cansino, a process that the State Government will carry out in coordination with the Ministry of Welfare.
