The regional team of the Ministry of Health (MINSA) in the province of Colón began inspections in the communities of 20 and Gatuncillo Norte, both in the San Juan district, the latter being the location of the carnivals. In the community of 20, 12 commercial establishments were inspected, where 16 food handlers were found to be in compliance with regulations. The epicenter of the carnivals remains in the Gatuncillo Norte community in the San Juan district, where dozens of people have moved with family and friends to enjoy the last day of the festivities. Meanwhile, in the Gatuncillo Norte community, 12 itinerant food handlers were verified, and no irregularities were found. On the last day of the town's festival, the regional team of the Ministry of Health (MINSA) in the province of Colón traveled to the Transístmica area to verify compliance with health regulations. During the inspection, the chlorine level in the tanker trucks used for the mojaderas (water activities) was checked, and the results showed that the levels were adequate.
