The COVID-19 traffic lights came to an end on February 21. That is to say, from this date new measures govern, the most relaxed of the pandemic, in the national territory as stipulated by the National COE last week.

The Minister of Health, Ximena Garzón, stressed that the vaccination program is the determining factor so that the impact of covid-19, especially the latest outbreak, has not caused more drastic measures to be taken and, at the same time, saturation in hospitals.
The authorities also decided that face-to-face work will be carried out with 100% capacity and the obligation to measure body temperature prior to admission to places of attention to the public is eliminated.
