We trust that they will not lower their guard and will continue to respect the protocols," said the municipal president in a statement published on the City Hall website.

So far, according to the head of Commerce, Alcohol and Public Shows of the XXIII, Jose Angel Leon, no irregularities have been reported in the swap meet operations and everyone has respected the filters and the basic rule of wearing masks at all times.
