The use of face masks, antibacterial gel, the healthy distance and something that we ask a lot from any merchant who handles food is the use of gloves.

In a matter of street vendors, which is where we suddenly find ourselves with more problems, we continue to do the same, try to raise awareness, seeking that they comply with the protocols and also take care of their diners.
He mentioned that when a seller refuses to abide by the measures, he is first given a warning, but if they are repeat offenders they become aggressors of a financial penalty.

Many comply with the protocols, but when they are repeat offenders, a sanction is applied.
