This is the medical report for Thursday, February 24

(MERIDA, YUC. – STATE GOVERNMENT).- On Thursday night, February 24, the state government announced that Yucatan is already at a Green Light, which means a greater relaxation in the measures to combat the pandemic.

The mandatory use of face masks for the entire population, including the vaccinated population, is mandatory, and the population is recommended to avoid the use of cloth face masks or scarves, since it is described that IT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION AGAINST COVID, INCLUDING THE ÓMICRON VARIANT, to protect us all, the use of two-layer, three-layer or medical-grade masks such as KN95 is suggested, since these have up to 95% coverage against Omicron.

People who have not received the vaccine are invited to apply it, team up and join in protecting their health and that of other people.

We invite you to get vaccinated without fear to protect our health and that of our families.

As has been pointed out, in the economic reopening the most important data are hospital occupancy and daily admissions. Today we have 40 patients in public hospitals.
