two vans of the Naval Police;

two vans from the City Council and three private vehicles, the distribution began at 9:30 am in Los Dolores;

the Barrio de la Concepción and the Old Town.

The neighbors have received the members of the operation to applause.

Although the distribution points were located in the aforementioned neighborhoods, the population from all areas of influence has been attended to, and this afternoon, the volunteers of the City Council will continue to distribute to the Cartagena deputations, since as they are isolated nuclei it is not necessary the collaboration of the military.

In fact, this afternoon the distribution begins in Los Nietos, El Algar, El Llano del Beal and Playa Honda, and the rest of the deputations will take place tomorrow.

“The device has worked perfectly.

Citizens have been summoned in groups of eight every half hour so that they can maintain safe distances.
