En Catia, la avenida Fuerzas Armadas y el bulevar de Sabana Grande, varios locales optaron por trabajar con los portones semiabiertos, a pesar del decreto de cuarentena. Las medidas más extremas de movilidad y mayor despliegue de funcionarios de seguridad se implementan en un intento de controlar el contagio de la COVID-19, tras la llegada de la variante P.1 a Venezuela.

Caracas.During this Monday, March 8, as part of the strict radical quarantine, only the premises that sell food were allowed to work in Catia.The person in charge of a chartería on Argentine Street, which preferred not to identify, said that FAES and UNB officials only explained that "at a certain time" they were going to pass requesting that they close the gate halfway."Nothing has told us more, I think we will be able to work normally, without restriction of schedule," he added.

Boulevard stores, most clothing and shoes, did not work.Some had the doors or the Santamarias disguisely open and with vendors arranged in the entrances.Unlike the first quarantine decrees, in March 2020, this time the boulevard did not have pedestrian mobility restrictions.However, a group of Faes was in a truck requesting, through a speaker, the correct use of the hobby to passersby.

Informal merchants went to work despite the week of strict radical quarantine, decreed by Nicolás Maduro on March 5 and ratified in their speech this Sunday after the arrival in Venezuela of the variant P.1."I came to work because you have to look for the real for food," said Juan Terán, who arrived in Catia from La Guaira to sell the bags and bags of him every day.Although he clarified that this time he took more than normal to reach Caracas due to the tail he found on the highway on the alcabalas.

“It was so much that I preferred to get off the bus much before arriving at the stop and walking.With everything and that I got at 8:00 a.m.m., but I am always here at 6:30 a.m.m.I realized what was happening when I arrived here because I couldn't listen to Maduro yesterday, but I have to work to eat, I'm just going to rest on Wednesday that is a stop day, ”Juan said.

The food sales businesses on Forces Armed Avenue allowed them to work maximum until noon, according to the order issued by PNB officials that constantly passed through the area.

Eduardo López, Zapatero with more than 40 years serving in the area, worked on Monday.They particularly said nothing.He also plans to work Tuesday and Wednesday and stop Thursday and Friday.

Migdalia Vallery, his assistant, explained that the motivation to leave home "is the need to work to eat."In addition, she commented that Eduardo is hypertensive and she has problems in one leg, both need to work to cover the expense of medicines.“We don't have who helps us.We do not even receive the benefit of the Clap Stock Exchange, ”said Migdalia.

There were few public transport units that were observed on Monday morning by the Armed Forces, and those that passed it with few users.Valeria had time waiting for her to pass a truck from those who arrive at the Vargas hospital."If it doesn't happen, I will have to walk," she said as she explained that she had to leave home to attend a medical consultation that she could not miss.

According to a publication of Hipólito Abreu, Minister of Transportation of Maduro, the intercity transport service will be suspended until March 14.

A commission of the Urban Control Inspectorate of the Mayor's Office of Caracas was on a motorcycle through the Sabana Grande Boulevard applying sanctions to the stores that were working with semi -open gates.The only ones who had permission to open were food and pharmacies.One of the inspectors declared that until 11:00 in the morning they had applied "enough sanctions", which consisted of pasteing a sign for the business gates and there to note that this establishment could not work until next Monday.

In the shoe store where Dormanny Sánchez works, they only warned with sanctioning.The seller explained to the inspectors that they not only sell shoes there, but also a food office."The boss's order is that if someone comes to buy shoes, we can attend it, but the most important thing is the sale of food, and that is why we have the average open gate," she said.

With Santamaría well up the underwear store worked on which Vanessa and Kimberly are employed.The vendors commented that the mayor's inspectors themselves passed by claiming because the premises was open, but in the end they did not sanction.

"We have to work because if not how we do," Vanessa wondered as he fixed the merchandise, "here we worked until the time (the bosses) say.It is almost always until 5:00 in the afternoon, ”replied her companion.

“We are going to strengthen surveillance measures.Everything is suspended, marches, public events.Everything we have to do will be done by videoconferencing.And that the people help together with civil, military and police groups to supervise compliance with biosecurity measures.One year after the first case (from Covid-19) in Venezuela we will strengthen the protection, discipline, surveillance measures, ”Maduro said this Sunday.
