Units of the Colombian Navy, attached to the Southern Naval Force, carried out an operation of aerial loudspeakers over the municipality of Puerto Leguízamo and the municipality of La Tagua in the department of Putumayo, this in order to disseminate information on prevention, containment and mitigation of Covid-19 in some remote regions of the south of the country.
The operation was carried out on board a helicopter Bell UH1N, which was adapted with a specialized amplification system, which on previous occasions has been used to promote the surrender to justice of members of criminal organizations but, this time it benefited approximately 10,000 people, bringing official information directly to their homes.
For approximately two hours, the inhabitants of this border area in the south east of Colombia received essential information to deal correctly with the current health crisis in the country. This operation is of utmost importance due to the limitations in access to official information that occurs in some communities in the Colombian Amazon because they are far of the main urban centers.
