This Monday, the director general of Migration Colombia, Juan Francisco Espinosa, has indicated that foreigners who are caught in clandestine parties, violating measures of isolation and endangering public health they will be expelled from the national territory immediately.
“This is not the time to lower our guard. The Covid has not left and does not distinguish passports.

We will not allow a few to put the city and the country at risk, “Espinosa said.
The announcement is made after the National Police report the finding of a clandestine party with 65 people (mostly foreigners) in the town of Kennedy (south of Bogota), which has been in strict quarantine for more than a week.
