The agreement not only includes the 600 kilometers of beach area, but also the places where traditionally there is a concentration of people in water parks, rivers, fords, recreational parks, lagoons and dams, this in municipalities that lack a beach, such as El Fuerte, Badiraguato, Cosalá, Concordia and Choix, since these places are the only alternative for their inhabitants.

“We have decided to close the beaches of Sinaloa, as well as the water parks, fords, and everything that is recreational parks, because they attract a lot of concentration of people. It is a difficult decision, very complicated, painful, but we must privilege above all the health of the Sinaloans; We know that we are going to get ahead but for this we need to make a sacrifice right now because we are facing a very aggressive virus, where the contagion is very fast and where the cases have been growing. We have to do everything to avoid it, and the way to do it is to stay at home, thank you very much for your support, I know that the people of Sinaloa will understand it, they will understand it and we will leave very strengthened, “he said in a message via from their social networks right after the meeting, next to the Health Secretary, Efrén Encinas Torres,

“I feel very happy because it was a common decision, among all, I did not want to come and say: let’s see, this is it and now, but it was valued by everyone,” acknowledged the state governor.

The decision was also made to cancel the traditional indigenous ceremonies of San Miguel Zapotitlán, where each year more than 25 thousand people gather, mainly tourists from other states and abroad, to participate in the festivities of the May Yoreme culture. It was specified that a dialogue will be held with the traditional indigenous governors so that with all the responsibility that the case implies, they abide by this provision since it is about preventing possible imports of Coronavirus infections.
