Traffic Light October 19 – October 25 Southern & Northern Regions
Quintana Roo remains in the YELLOW Traffic Light from October 19 to October 25.Yellow Traffic Light means CAUTION. Do not rush, reinforce habits of the new normal: Use your face mask, go out only for essential things, maintain a safe distance of 1.5 meters, disinfect surfaces and wash your hands.
National Stoplight System
The Epidemiological Traffic Light (Semaforo) determines weekly the status of the State´s reopening plan. Cozumel has been in the ¨Yellow traffic light. See the details in the article¨What is Semaforo Yellow¨ Cozumel Sun News September 7, 2020.
Clorox: Use with Caution!
Along with wearing a mask and safe distancing, we are required to constantly disinfect surfaces. The surfaces in our homes and workplace can spread the COVID-19 Virus from person to person.
Spray disinfectants are expensive and not always available. The alternative is Clorox and water. Clorox is the most logical choice given the large task at hand. It is also the most economical. However, mixed with other liquids it can be extremely dangerous.
Clorox and Muriatic Acid
Is extremely Flammable and can cause damage to throat and pulmonary edema.
Clorox and Hot Water
Generates extremely toxic vapors that damage respiratory airways.
Clorox and Drain Cleaners
Produces a gas that can suffocate, cause severe burns in the throat and lungs, that can lead to death.
Clorox and Vinegar
Is one of the most dangerous combinations that cause toxic fumes that can be flammable, causing severe and irreversible damage.
Clorox and Ammonia
Produces a harmful gas that can irritate the eyes and lungs causing serios respiratory problems.
Clorox and Alcohol
Produces chemical vapors that cause irritation to the eyes and can be absorbed through the skin causing serios damage.
Cozumel has Free Influenza Vaccination
A reminder that more than ever, it is imperative that you protect yourself and your family with vaccinations against influenza. We have gone to Centro de Salud on 11th. You need some Spanish to understand where in the hospital to go. No documentation is Needed!
#Influenza , go with your whole family to your health center and protect yourself.

We have a “”drop in” meal policy, we feed the hungry no questions asked. Children in the immediate (Colonia Independencia) and surrounding neighborhoods are our priority.

In addition, we publish articles that feature community programs in need of donations and volunteers. We encourage both residents and visitors to give back to this island paradise by volunteering and donating to these existing community programs.
