The Maracena City Council began distribution of masks to all homes within the city this week. This is a difficult task for Consistory, which has a population exceeding 22,000. It is the goal of this initiative to provide basic protection equipment to combat the coronavirus for residents of the metropolitan area so that Covid-19 infection does not occur again.
Noel Lopez, the mayor of Maracen, stated that although there have been some difficult weeks, he and his staff have demonstrated a great deal of commitment and responsibility to the pandemic. He also admitted that the City Council made a "great effort", to get 40,000 masks for all Maraceneros. Lopez concluded, "I request the civic behavior and commitment of citizens to fight the coronavirus."
