Reopening Scheme in Venezuela Modified from 5 + 10 to 7 + 7
This Saturday and Sunday will be working days in Venezuela for the prioritized sectors announced last weekend by President Maduro. An exception remains in the municipalities that are under special curfew conditions and those that are part of the sanitary cordon in the border states with Colombia and Brazil.
On the night of this Friday, June 5, Vice President Delcy RodrÃguez reported that President Nicolás Maduro, after a comprehensive analysis with his group of advisers, decided to ease the reopening scheme from the 5 + 10 formula to a 7 + 7.
“That is to say, this Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7, will be workable for the 10 sectors announced last weekend and which began to work on June 1. Then the 7 days of rigorous moving back to quarantine will come,” said the vice president.
She made it clear that the municipalities that are under special curfew conditions and the municipalities that are part of the sanitary cordon in the border states are kept out of this 7 + 7 flexibility scheme.
In the case of Zulia, the formula does not apply to Mara, Guajira, Jesús MarÃa Semprún, Maracaibo or San Francisco, as noted on Saturday, May 30, due to the “Mercado de las Pulgas” outbreak.
