Cancun tourism staff and repair suppliers are uncovered to Covid-19 infections – The Yucatan Instances

They are in contact with tourists who do not have to check that they are not carrying the disease and drive with full trucks.

Despite the fact that Darío Flota, director of the Quintana Roo Tourism Promotion Council (CPTQ), pointed out that infections occur not in the tourism sector but in the population and communities, hotel workers are exposed to COVID-19 while being transported to the Hotel Zone in which there are no sanitary measures or authorities responsible for enforcing the protocols in public places.

During the World Travel and Tourism Congress in Cancun, Darío Flota, Director General of the State Tourism Promotion Council, pointed out that the protocols in the accommodation centers were correct before the orange color of the traffic light epidemiological state was restored, but it was noted that there were certain areas of infection among the population and in the communities of the company.

It has already been proven that the protocols have worked in the hotels, the outbreaks have occurred in the areas of the population in different areas of the state and that they are not related to the operation of the tourist activity, so it should not be affected by us have those in the local community who must continue to take care of ourselves so that recovery can continue, ”said Flota Ocampo.

However, there are situations in which workers are exposed in their work centers and have contact with foreigners there who have tested positive for COVID-19 in known cases. This is because they already have the virus or have been infected in tourist centers because there is no need to verify that the person is coronavirus-free to enter the country.

It was in the Moon Palace where young Argentinians infected with COVID-19 lived. This newspaper found 109 confirmed positive cases. These young people carried out activities in all areas of the hotel zone, Isla Mujeres and Puerto Morelos, close to the services of the theme park, restaurant or club provider.

Another important reference for contagion is the public transport in the hotel zone, which goes beyond the allowed limit and allows foreigners to climb without a face mask. This is an important meeting point as these routes reach the well-known subdivisions inhabited by hotel workers, Villas del Mar and Prado Norte are two examples, and they are also two subdivisions that are multiple in the top of the colonies with most cases of COVID-19 of the state government have occurred.
