The Panama Minister of Health announced that the national curfew is being reduced from 1:00 am to 4:00 am, as of yesterday Wednesday, September 8th 2021. Commercial premises may remain open until 12:00 midnight.
Once herd immunity has been achieved, which is expected to be in November, just prior to "high" tourist season in Panama, the Ministry of Health would proceed to lift the curfew at the national level said Health Minister, Luis Francisco Sucre.
According to Sucre, it is projected to achieve collective immunity in the month of November, with 70% of vaccines applied. One of the main objectives of the meeting was to evaluate future strategies and the measures adopted to return to normality, to expand the capacity in restaurants, bars and the reopening of activities and shops that are still closed.
Sucre recalled that each proposal of the various sectors of commerce such as curfew and opening of activities, is analyzed by the epidemiology and public health team, and is subsequently communicated to President Cortizo. "The measures and decisions that are being taken are based on social behavior, epidemiological indicators, installed capacity, number of positives, they are multifactorial decisions," explained Sucre. He stressed that Panama is advancing with a safe step so as not to have to return to implement measures that have already been changed.
