The province of Colón has been affected in recent hours by strong waves accompanied by a strong breeze. In the area of the maritime ports of the Guna Yala region, vessels could not set sail due to weather instability. In a rapid coordinated intervention, emergency teams managed to rescue two minors who were dragged by the current out of the safety area at Playa La Angosta, in the Portobelo district of the Upper Coast of the province of Colón. One of the affected individuals was a 13-year-old boy who presented with drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Another person affected was a 15-year-old boy; he was in better health. Despite the warning from Sinaproc, people risked going for a swim at these beaches.
