This Saturday the Colombian capital completes a year since the first contagion of the new coronavirus sars-cov-2 was made official in the country, the date on which citizens had to adapt to a so-called ‘new normal’ with quarantines and a biosafety protocol to protect themselves in the pandemic.

To commemorate this atypical period in the recent history of humanity, the mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López, gave an interview on the Citynoticias television newscast, of the local Bogotá City TV channel, where He reflected on what all the new restrictions and the sacrifice that its inhabitants have had to make for the city.

But he also took the opportunity to announce that if the schedule and compliance with the delivery of vaccines by the National government is maintained, By Easter, all adults over 80 would be immunized, so he assured when asked by a viewer about the application of the doses to that population.

“When the vaccines are delivered! I can tell you with absolute certainty, if it is true as the National government says that this Sunday 2 million vaccines arrive, (…) That we need at least 400,000 doses of those to be able to vaccinate all those over 80. I submerged that he is watching me and has more than 80 and that he is pending, if they give us the 400,000 doses on Monday, before Easter those over 80 will be vaccinated “said López on the Bogota channel.

In the interview he also told some details of the difficult moments that he has had to go through during all this time of the pandemic, where he detailed that running the city at this time has been not only an administrative challenge, but also a challenge to his emotional state, because she had had to be away from her family, and she pointed out that she spent about 6 months without being able to see her mother.

“Like all families, it has been hard, it has been instructive, we have cried, we have met virtually even so. I spent months without seeing my mother, almost 6 months and like all Bogota families, with great care, and with a lot of love, give us strength to move forward “, he expressed.
