"Those who do not comply with this will be subject to fines and closure, for a maximum of 15 days," said Zumarán in a meeting with merchants. For the bars, the "restaurant" modality will continue, that is to say, to pair food with the consumption of alcoholic drinks.

"We will be doing surveillance rounds and will continue to operate. The fines, for people or establishments that do not comply with these measures, will be 500 UMA's. If it is a repeat offender, there will be a closure of 1 to 15 days, depending on the offense," said the director.
