The reopening of businesses after the lockdown will be gradual said Health Minister Luis Francisco Sucre on  Friday, January 8. To reopen fully would cancel out the effects of the quarantine but he is waiting for a report to see if it can be reopened from  January 15. although he considers that it will not be necessary to extend it completely.  

He also indicated that in other provinces such as Darién, Herrera, Coclé, Los Santos and Veraguas, some more restrictive measures are being considered due to the increase in cases and this could parallel the gradual reopening of Panama and Panama Oeste, which are still in evaluation.

Sucre also referred to the parties reported at the end of the year and a social gathering that took place in a restaurant in San Francisco. He said all participants will be sanctioned, while the party on a yacht is still being investigated. " The investigations are being carried out, the names of all those who were there are being compiled along with  those who authorized the sailing of that yacht, and those identified are going to be summoned, " said the Minister
