The prospect that Bogotá would return to rotating lockdowns was confirmed by Mayor Claudia López on Sunday after three localities witnessed a spike over the holiday season in daily cases of the coronavirus infection.  The decision to place Suba, Engativa and Usaquén under strict lockdown for two weeks starting January 5 comes as the Colombian capital has doubled its daily average of 2,400 cases registered by the Ministry of Health in November.
The new round of lockdowns, which affect some 2.6 million residents also comes as hospitalizations have surged with the so-called “second wave” and which according to health authorities could extend into mid-February. While the three localities face restrictive mobility, Mayor López announced during a press conference that other localities could be included in the lockdown should their cases also increase.
