New Measures for Travelers Entering Panama, Cortizo Appoints New Directors of the Board of the ACP, Sinaproc Issues Prevention Notice for Increased Waves and Winds in the Caribbean.

Friday, February 18, 2022

Back again from a 1-month hiatus, I’ve been out and about for a couple of reasons. First of all, I finally got COVID. I mean, it was about damn time, right? Nearly 2 years into this and just before a planned trip to Colombia, I get sick along with the rest of my family. Luckily, the day before the scheduled trip, I tested negative and could confidentially travel without the worry of spreading the virus or having some complications sneak up on me.

The trip, however, was something for the record books. I had the opportunity of a lifetime, for a fisherman, to traverse the Amazon and catch over a hundred specimens of the illusively renown “Tucunare” which is essentially a Peacock Bass on steroids. I’ll add the photos de the END NOTES below.

So, while I’ve been gone, Panama’s COVID issues peaked again and the numbers have dropped considerably. You’ll see that the number of deaths have gone up and the daily infections have dropped. That’s a bit misleading as those deaths are from those who got sick over a month ago, in most cases. The unfortunately higher death rates should start dropping again in another week or two.

I think overall, Panama, and most of the rest of the world, is a lot better than we were a year ago. The virus seems to be weakening, and it’s become more annoying than dangerous. That’s not to say we shouldn’t continue to side with caution, but it’s these preventive measures that I’m kinda sick of.

For me to travel to Colombia, I had to be completely vaccinated and fill out a “Check-Mig” form online for entry. The Check-Mig site wasn’t working, so I had to use their alternate Check-Mig backup site and after about an hour, finally got that done. Upon return, I had to do the Check-Mig again as well as Panama’s COVID declaration form to get the QR code. It was such the task that I forgot to do my Web Checkin… Ugh.

Just the same, it’s great to be back and now you’ll have to put up with me for the next few months until I disappear again into another South American jungle.

Views of the partial closure in the North Panama area.

The Panama Metro announced the partial closure of the main entrance of Chivo Chivo from February 16 to March 2.

THEY ARE ANALYZING THE REQUEST OF CERTIFICATE OF PEACE AND SAFE FROM ENA TO END ‘OFFENDERS’ IN THE CORRIDORS

ENA manages the North, South and East corridors.

The unpunished drivers who travel without balance through the corridors could end soon, after coordination is maintained between the Land Traffic and Transportation Authority (ATTT) and the National Highway Company (ENA).

The director of the ATTT, Carlos Ordoñez, revealed that among the modifications that would be made to the traffic regulations, it would be to demand peace and safe from Ena, at the time of carrying out procedures to renew the license or license plate.

The changes to the regulation only require an executive decree to become effective, so this measure would come into force, if approved, once the provision is enacted.

It would involve those drivers who insist on traveling free of charge on the highways and those, more daring, who do so without having a panapass.

Last December, ENA warned that the delinquency of its users exceeded $6 million, a debt that comes from 10% of the drivers who use the corridors.

Using the North, South and East corridors without a balance on the Panapass is equivalent to a traffic violation that accumulates with each crossing, in addition to the usual charges for traveling in the corridors.

MINSA ESTABLISHES ELECTRONIC REGISTRY OF SELF-APPLIED TESTS TO DETECT COVID-19

Swab Tests.

Through Resolution N°059 of February, 2022, the Ministry of Health (Minsa) of Panama established the electronic registry of self-applied tests for the detection of SARS – CoV-2 (covid-19) antigen in nasal swab samples at the national level.

According to the resolution, every establishment, business or company that dispenses self-applied tests for the detection of the antigen must make an electronic record of the person who will use the test.

To do this, the business or company will have access and credentials to use the electronic registration platform for self-administered tests.

Any person who performs a self-applied test for the detection of covid-19 must register the results of the same with their credentials, through the platform established by the Authority for Government Innovation (AIG), the resolution states.

It will be up to the AIG to develop the computerized mechanism to facilitate the electronic registration of the results obtained in the tests, and send it to the Department of Epidemiology of the Minsa.

ELECTRIC CARS GAIN GROUND AT LOWER COST

In Panama, 75 electric vehicles were sold last year, an unprecedented figure in a market that is gradually becoming more dynamic due to various factors.

Alexander Fragueiro, national consultant for electric mobility, explained that as technology has advanced, it has been possible to see vehicles with more autonomy, which yield 400, 500 and 600 kilometers, so that every time they improve, their prices go down.

In the midst of a pandemic, the sale of electric cars has increased, since 21 units were sold in 2020, which generates optimism to meet the goals of the national strategy that has been established by those behind the electric mobility project.

But, although it still seems to be reserved for people with economic solvency, year after year these cars are becoming affordable to more Panamanians.

Fragueiro calculated that the average cost at which the 75 vehicles were purchased last year is 30,000 dollars.

“Also, they depend on the brands. The German ones range between 50,000 and 100,000 dollars if they are full extra, while there are Chinese ones like BYD that were sold between 25,000 and 27,000 dollars,” he explained.

And it is that it is expected that this year price parity should be reached between these vehicles and conventional ones.’

“We have expectations that we can get vehicles in this market at 20,000 or 25,000 dollars, meeting the same expectations of others. It is an expectation that at the end of the year that parity will be achieved,” Fragueiro said.

In addition to this, last year ended with 91 chargers throughout the national territory.

The expectations are that by 2022 more than 100 electric cars will be sold and 200 chargers will be reached.

Public transport

MiBus will renew part of its vehicle fleet next year and the idea is that several of the units purchased will be electric.

At the moment, there is a commitment to acquire five electric buses for tourist routes, after an agreement reached between MiBus and the Panama Tourism Authority (ATP).

Meanwhile, a framework agreement has already been lifted so that public entities can buy electric vehicles.

This catalog began to be implemented last year, but there was little participation, so it has been improved and talks are being held directly with car dealers for its promotion.

Advantages

Reliable, thrifty and friendly to the environment. These are the qualities that identify these vehicles that are beginning to gain ground in the country.

Currently, it is estimated that on our streets, an electric vehicle can travel 250 kilometers without needing to be recharged.

In addition, they reduce vibrations, so your drivers feel less tired after a journey of several kilometers.

On the other hand, the engine helps to recharge the battery of cars.

Fragueiro mentioned that once they went up Cerro Azul with one of these vehicles, which had a 30% charge, and when they came down it increased to 60%.

Cases of alleged forced sterilization will be investigated.

The Ombudsman’s Office initiates an investigation, from the field of human rights, for the complaint of alleged sterilizations without consent in communities in Bocas del Toro.

The deputy defender will attend to the complaints, and they have asked Deputy Walkiria Chandler D’Orcy for the details of the women allegedly affected, confirmed the Ombudsman, Eduardo Leblanc González.

Likewise, the entity has sent a note to the hospitals in the region, and this Monday a commission headed by the Ombudsman, the Deputy Ombudsman, the Director of Human Rights Protection, and special units will travel to these areas.

Leblanc insisted that it is a very sensitive complaint, which transcends borders and a huge setback as a country if a fact is verified.

The complaint made public by alternate deputy Walkiria Chandler would be violating the Convention of Belém do Pará, an inter-American convention to prevent, punish and eradicate violence against women, indicated the Ombudsman.

If the situation is confirmed, the Ombudsman’s Office will file the corresponding criminal complaints with the Attorney General’s Office, and through international channels, with the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). and before the High Commissioner of the United Nations to send international guidelines to the Republic of Panama, confirmed Leblanc González.

LAW THAT STRENGTHENS PENALTIES FOR DRIVERS WITHOUT INSURANCE POLICY CONFRONT REPRESENTATIVES AND THE ATTT

Bill advances that toughen penalties for drivers without vehicle insurance.

The Communication and Transportation Commission of the National Assembly approved this Wednesday in the first debate the Bill No.763, which establishes the obligation of the uninterrupted validity of car insurance policies.

The bill also proposes the suspension of the license and the retention of the vehicle for drivers who violate these regulations and are involved in traffic accidents.

In the middle of the first debate, Emilio Cobos of the Land Traffic and Transportation Authority (ATTT) assured the commission that the entity is already discussing the modifications to the Traffic Law.

Cobos urged the proponent Leandro Ávila to participate in the technical table this Thursday where the issue will be addressed.

The intervention of the ATTT official generated a reaction from Ávila, who questioned the entity that, being aware of the irregularities that are taking place, has expected hundreds of Panamanians to be victims of traffic accidents where they are not paid for damages or injuries.

They should have thought about it a long time ago and not wait for the Assembly to take the initiative, was Ávila’s claim.

Meanwhile, deputy Luis Ernesto Carles also described the ATTT as ‘inoperative’ in different administrations. Carles defined the entity as ‘an address that goes unnoticed, that the only thing that is heard are acts of corruption of quota sales’. He affirms that the ATTT has a permanent default with the citizens.

For his part, Carlos Berguidos of the Panamanian Association of Insurers (Apadea) asked the proponent for time to technically analyze the bill and issue his recommendations.

Meanwhile, commissioned deputies recommended making some adjustments in the wording to make the bill more specific and less generic, avoiding confusion or gaps. Given this, Ávila proposed including the recommendations for the second debate.

The bill establishes the obligation to have an insurance policy valid for no less than 3 months in order to obtain the Vehicle Inspection certificate (Revised) and purchase a Vehicle Circulation License Plate or circulation permit sticker in the Municipality.

The information will be verified by the Traffic and Land Transportation Authority in conjunction with the insurance companies.

Likewise, it proposes the suspension of the driver’s license to the owners of a motor vehicle or towing unit, which suffers a collision, without having updated its full coverage policy or damages to third parties. The sanction will be removed from the moment the owner updates the auto insurance policy.

Likewise, it establishes the retention of the license and the vehicle involved for those who process the renewal of the Circulation Vehicle License Plate or circulation permit decal, without their respective full coverage insurance policy or damage to third parties, and who is involved in a traffic accident, which has caused personal injury or damage to private property or vehicle.

The latter will be suspended when the driver involved has paid in full all the expenses corresponding to those affected.

Likewise, it urges insurance companies to ensure that, within the contracts issued by them, it states among its clauses, the intention of automatic renewal of the policy.

MINSA SANCTION WITH B/6,000.00 A DR. MARTA ROA FOR SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANTI-COVID VACCINE

Dr. Marta Roa

The Ministry of Health (Minsa) sanctioned Dr. Marta Roa De Gracia de Salteiro with B/6,000.00 for statements in alternative media in which she attributed the deaths of children, adults, and health professionals to vaccination against COVID-19.

“In these statements, Dr. Roa encourages the population not to get vaccinated against COVID-19; she assures that there are more than a thousand deaths due to the vaccine in Panama; that there are deaths of children and adults due to the vaccine; that healthy people are dying after applying the vaccine…among other indications given without providing scientific evidence,” says the statement from the Ministry of Health.

On the other hand, the Minsa determined that the doctor violated the measure of mandatory use of masks in a protest in the Supreme Court of Justice, an act with which in turn incited the population not to use them.

According to the report, the declarations were made on November 15 and 16, 2021 and January 21, 2022.

According to the General Directorate of Health, this act constitutes an infringement of current health regulations. Resolution 0246 of February 14, 2022 indicates that it failed to comply with numerals 8, 9 and 10 of article 85 of Law 66 of November 10, 1947.

The numerals of the cited law, textually say the following:

The powers and duties of the National Department of Public Health, in the national health order:

8° Order and regulate the practice of vaccinations and the use of biological products used for the prevention or cure of diseases of man or animals when they are transmissible to man, and impose their collective use in indicated cases, and at all times, in the case of smallpox vaccination and revaccination.

9° Order the isolation, quarantine, observation and surveillance of every person, even if they were in apparent good health, when the absence of the measure constitutes real or potential damage to the health of the community…

10° Adopt emergency measures that are essential and cannot be postponed in the event of an epidemic or other public calamities…

SOLIDARITY PHARMACY, THE GOVERNMENT’S PROPOSAL TO OFFER MEDICINES AT LOW COST, WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?

A bet to install “Popular Pharmacies” or “Solidarity Pharmacies”

The supply of medicines in public institutions and affordability in private pharmaceutical establishments are the two fundamental points in the commission that discusses the issue of medicines, explained the national director of Pharmacy and Drugs, Elvia Lao.

The commission headed by the Vice President of the Republic, José Gabriel Carrizo, aims to find a solution to the problem of the high cost of medicines in the country.

One of the proposals that is gaining strength and generating a lot of expectations in the population are the “Popular Pharmacies” or “Solidarity Pharmacies”, confirmed the national director of Pharmacy and Drugs.

Lao clarified that it is a model that is being applied in other countries and that it is being studied how it could be applied in Panama.

The official gave as an example the model applied by Brazil, where the State determined four frequent morbidities in the country and based on that report subsidizes medicines so that people can acquire them at cheaper prices.

Likewise, these “Solidarity Pharmacies” could work in pharmacies that request to provide the service or new pharmacies that are located in strategic points where there is no accessibility to medicines.

These establishments would distribute generic drugs, he said.

The specialist also made the observation that within the Basic Medicines Basket (CABAMED) not all medicines are innovative. Lao maintains that there are some innovative medicines that do not even reach Panama because it is not an attractive market.

“Some are prices of generics vs. generics, but they are interchangeable generics, that is, they have the patent of innovator. When ten years have passed, a manufacturer can exactly copy the formula without having to carry out a study, and it does the same in many aspects, color, size, shape and that when doing the analysis, it will yield the same results as the innovator or the reference one”, explained Lao.

The national director of Pharmacy and Drugs clarifies that all these drugs have passed health registration, guarantee of quality, safety and efficacy.

In 2019, 40 to 153 products were applied within the Basic Basket of Medicines that are in the pharmacy, an instrument that Lao maintains that the consumer has not taken full advantage of.

At the table, a Panamanian Medicines Observatory is also being analyzed in coordination with ACODECO, which will allow national and international prices to be seen and a comparison to be made.

Acodeco looks at the prices and must share with the DGI and verify if the prices are consistent with the price at which this establishment acquired it from the pharmaceutical company. “It is a price chain that is born with the manufacturer,” concludes Lao.
