Medellin, June 9 (EFE).- Medellin took the lead in Colombia’s fight against COVID-19 and now in the economic revival with the reopening of shopping centers, a pilot plan to reopen restaurants and the beginning of a “citizen responsibility phase.”The second-largest city of Colombia on Tuesday set an example in its results to mitigate the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus with the use of technology, which allowed various sectors to return as quickly as possible to activity paralyzed by the national quarantine that began on Mar. 25."Today Medellin has everything open, except restaurants, hotels and bars. That puts us ahead of the reopening of any other city in Colombia," said the mayor of the city, Daniel Quintero, during the presentation of the "Yo Cuido a Medellin" (I Take Care of Medellin) campaign on Tuesday.
