From this Monday the 3rd until next Monday the 10th the Municipality of Santa Ana, in Manabí, will not attend the public in person in most of its offices. This is because several cases of COVID-19 have been detected in officials of this municipality.
The only area that was enabled to serve the public, and taking all biosecurity measures, is the one concerning the collection of urban properties, payment of drinking water and other municipal fees.
“Due to several cases of COVID-19 in the institution and with the aim of safeguarding the integrity of public servants and citizens, there will be no attendance to the public in person for citizen procedures for a period of eight days,” said a statement issued by this Manabi council.
