Bogotá Mayor, Claudia López, announced that any commercial establishment that sells alcohol will be allowed to keep its doors open until 3 in the morning. This news bodes well for pubs, restaurants and gastro-bars who can now sell alcohol during concerts and any event that might come along as re-activation builds up steam.
"Today we have a much better handle on the pandemic since it began, thanks to a concerted effort on behalf of the people," said Mayor Claudia López.
Mayor López then went on to explain that many factors have led to this welcomed sign of re-activation. It’s not just the vaccine, the individual and collected efforts on behalf of the city have placed us in a more comfortable position. "Today we have created more jobs and we are beginning to show signs of decrease in poverty, and the opposite is also true, income has risen." The mayor went on to say that, "the best security to have now is the security that comes with re-activation, and with it, the generation of more jobs.”
