Ms. Tabares added that there are still 20 stores and 60 other facilities scattered along the city to avoid movement and concentration of people.

According to Frank Hierrezuelo, the provincial director of the company, they are selling set packages, whose preparations are in charge of the workers of those closed markets.

They prepared some well supplied 4 400 packages at $40.00 pesos each and took them to the “Jose Marti” district to sell them in the constituencies supervised by the family doctors’ office and they targeted as a priority the elder people who live alone, pregnant women or patients with chronic diseases.

Mr. Hierrezuelo also said that they applied the same procedure in the Agüero-Mar Verde area, which is now under quarantine after the detection of a high number of infected people with covid-19
