Nogales, Sonora, MX – 

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

Local authorities are stopping citizens from going to the city’s recreational sites as part of the measures to prevent the spread of the Covid-19.

Mascareñas is a common recreational spot for Nogales residents.  It is located ten miles East of the city, with lots of vegetation, a stream and so close by, it’s common for Nogales residents to visit on Easter Sunday.

At 4 dollars per vehicle, families can enter a fenced property and spend a safe day having a picnic and doing the traditional easter egg hunt, but not this year.

El Bellotoso” is a great extension of land in  the South side of Nogales where there are still some trees of bellota, a kind of small walnut and symbol of the city of Nogales, Sonora.

Families bring food, and spend the day playing sports or just lounging in the shade of a tree.

This sector of the city is also closed and the presence of people was prohibited to prevent the spread of Covid-19.  Local authorities were also onsite at this location to enforce the prohibition.

Until this Sunday Nogales, Sonora had only one reported Covid-19 case.
