22:40 | Lima, Jun. 29. The President of the Republic, Francisco Sagasti, urged the entire population to get vaccinated against COVID-19, as this is the only way to protect ourselves from the virus and to save more lives throughout the country. This is the best and safest shield against the disease. It is our duty to protect not only our lives but the lives of everyone around us, he said, noting that the immunization of people aged 50 and above will begin tomorrow, June 30.
The Head of State noted that, despite being vaccinated, people cannot lower their guard and neglect precautionary measures, since the world is witnessing different variants of the COVID-19 virus.
