With special elements for surveillance and prevention of contagion by Covid-19, the official commented that they will have a team of 12 drones, which will have the function of detecting abnormalities and verifying any bather with a high temperature, they will be immediately removed from the area of Beach.
“Adjustments such as capacity in the beach area specifically, we believe that we will not see the need to increase the surveillance zone specifically in the areas visited by tourists. We have control over them (the drones), the handling and flight are by the company that is providing the service, there are 12 teams, “he said.
However, despite the fact that two years ago there was no pandemic alarm, he commented that this year the number of tourists visiting the port will be equal and could even be exceeded.
