The suspension includes the districts of Panama, San Miguelito, Arraiján, La Chorrera, Chame and San Carlos, the regions in which the Ministry of Health revealed an increase in the numbers of new infections and announced the expansion of restrictions on personal mobility in the provinces of Panama and West Panama.
