Five New Sanitization Tunnels Installed

NOGALES, SONORA, MX – Local authorities activated a total of five sanitization tunnels on Thursday as a way to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The tunnels were installed at the Mariposa and Puerta de México Ports of Entry, at the General Hospital and in health checkpoints through the city.

The mayor of Nogales, Mexico, Jesús Pujol Irastorza, declared that the goal is to continue working in a coordinated manner with the other health authorities to protect the residents of Covid-19.

“The sanitizing tunnels are installed precisely so that anyone who crosses from the United States into Mexico will be out of danger of infection while also preventing other people from getting sick,” he said.

Most of the confirmed cases of Coronavirus, he added, have been registered through contact with people from the United States and other countries.

“That is why these sanitizing modules have been installed in the international border crossing points; it is something that the vast majority of the residents of this border have been demanding,” he reiterated.

“Let’s hope that this health emergency ends as soon as possible and that everything returns to normality, the plan is to end the quarantine on May 30 of this year,” he said.

The intention of putting these preventive sanitary measures into practice, he reiterated, is that no more infections occur and that the people feel protected.
