China News Service, May 6 (Reuters) According to Reuters, the Colombian President said on the 5th that in order to curb the spread of the new crown virus, the country will extend the mandatory quarantine period for another two weeks. However, some production activities will be allowed to reopen.
According to reports, Colombia began to implement a national mandatory isolation order on March 24, and had previously extended the isolation measures twice. Colombian President Duke said on the evening of May 5 that the national mandatory isolation order will be extended from May 11 to May 25.
On March 16, local time, on the Rumichaka International Bridge between Colombia and Ecuador, an Ecuadorian health official conducted temperature tests on passengers in the car.
However, from May 11, Colombia's industrial production activities and sales of automobiles and other commodities can be restarted. In addition, the country's manufacturing and construction industries have been allowed to resume work.
Duke said, "We will also begin to take measures to activate the retail industry." The towns that have not been diagnosed will be reopened. However, large-scale events in the country and business activities such as bars and clubs will still be banned.
Duke added that children aged 6 to 17 can go out three times a week for 30 minutes each time. Children under 14 years of age need to be accompanied by an adult, and the accompanying adult is not a high-risk group.
