Puebla businesses and restaurants will maintain the mandatory use of face masks


Puebla, Pue. Although the Puebla government issued a decree to make the use of face masks in public spaces voluntary as a measure to prevent Covid-19 infections; in shops and restaurants they maintained that the measures for employees and suppliers will be maintained, while in the case of clients it will be their own decision.

Marco Antonio Prósperi Calderón, president of the Chamber of Commerce, Services and Tourism (Canaco Servytur), stated that the determination of the authorities will be respected, although businessmen still see risks of resurgence due to the covid-19 pandemic in the face of the greater social relaxation that may occur in the coming weeks.

However, he said that merchants cannot take for granted that the health contingency is passing and, with it, relax the health measures “that cost so much for the workers to adopt and that the clients abide by to enter the establishments.”

He pointed out that businesses cannot close again, but the decision to make the use of face masks voluntary in public spaces must have a base supported by local authorities.

He considered that businessmen are assuming the responsibility of caring for staff and forcing suppliers not to remove their face masks during the delivery of merchandise, a provision agreed between businesses affiliated with Canaco Servyturwithout having a date to finish it.

Carlos Azomoza Alacio, president of the National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry (Canirac) Puebla, considered that as long as Covid-19 does not cease to be a global threat, they will continue to apply the provisions to avoid contagion and put customers at risk.

“Posters and graphics will be maintained in establishments that invite the population to wear a mask in common areas, as well as in toilets and waiting areas,” he deepened.

He explained that no one will be discriminated against among the businesses affiliated with the Caniracbut they do ask for the understanding of customers to respect the sanitary measures that were being handled.
