One point that the Secretary of Health stressed, especially in view of the upcoming Christmas meetings, is that family meetings or parties can only be held with the nuclear family, with this he referred to the members who live in the same house, giving as an example, the wife, children and the father of the family.

On the other hand, with respect to the swap meets, Pérez Rico indicated that they will be in verification, although the swap meets will be subject to the neighborhoods that are observed with more active cases in the state, where they will not be able to be placed, "we will also reduce the capacity of the stands that are being placed and we will emphasize the use of face masks," he added.
