CAMAGÜEY.-Faced with the complex epidemiological situation, the Provincial Defense Council approved extreme actions to contain the disease in the municipality of Camagüey, currently in a phase of limited autochthonous transmission. Similar measures will be applied in the territories of Nuevitas, Céspedes and Esmeralda, three of those with the highest circulation of the virus.

In the case of the main municipality, the command body decided to limit the mobility of people from seven at night and at nine for the other three districts.

Other decisions for these territories are to close bars, discotheques and other nightclubs, as well as postpone non-essential work meetings, especially those that require transfer to or from these four locations.

The Defense Council also directed the unbundling of the sale of basic necessities and thus avoid the concentration of people in a limited number of commercial units. In that sense, more should be demanded due to the required distance and organization in the queues.

In addition, as had been happening in the provincial capital, the sale of state and private gastronomic units was limited to take-away food. Similarly, special attention was paid to the presence of minors in the streets, especially now that there has been an increase in positive cases at those ages, whose schools are closed in the current stage of confronting the disease.

This structure also required the implementation of measures to reinforce control in those places with the highest concentration of people, commercial offices in different sectors, law firms, notaries and commercial units. Similarly, the role of teleworking and remote work should be reinforced, especially in people with risk factors, and the prohibition of entry to work centers with catarrhal symptoms is reiterated.

In these four territories they also pay special attention to the availability of chlorine for sale to the population, since washing hands with chlorinated solutions is one of the most effective measures to prevent the new coronavirus.

A call was made to the population to self-search through the application for android phones, still without using all that it could.

To those who do not comply with the provisions, Decree 31 will be applied, which severely penalizes offenders and administrators of the institutions. These measures will be constantly evaluated and will be further strengthened if the epidemiological situation requires it.
