ISLA MUJERES, 4 de agosto.-
The most recent case was Elihu Aarón Martínez Martínez, who is a member of the Caribe fishing cooperative. He was diagnosed with type one decompression yesterday (Thursday), with symptoms that included dizziness, vomiting, itchy skin and shoulder pain. He was given treatment according to table number five, which lasted five hours and 15 minutes inside the decompression capsule.
On Friday, there was a false alarm with one of the workers from the "Laguna Makáx" cooperative. He went to the hyperbaric capsule after diving, but he was sent to the Community Hospital and diagnosed with an infection in his throat and an acute cold that was not adequately treated. He didn't require hyperbaric treatment and will be able to return to work when he recovers from his cold.

The Captains Dinner on Friday evening was attended by women from Puerto Morelos, Solidaridad, Cozumel, and of course, Isla Mujeres, as well as the Mayor and his wife. Registration is still open and will be open in the morning at the pier of the Caribe cooperative. The event starts at 8a with weighing in from 2p to 5p and the prizes being awarded at 6p.

We are working in coordination with SEDETUR (the federal Tourism Department) so that all islanders who work in the tourism industry have the opportunity to train and develop their talent.
Come and participate! (Classes on Friday & Saturday, Aug 11& 12 in Gender Equality)
Enjoy the best adventures on our island🌴, walk along its beautiful beaches and practice your favorite sports🏊🏻♀️🏄🏻, let #IslaMujeres make you fall in love.
We continue to work in coordination with the DIF Isla Mujeres so that more islanders have the benefits of our programs. https://goo.gl/cWGPQh
For the benefit of those who need it the most, Mrs. Paola Orrico de Carrillo, President of the DIF Isla Mujeres, made home visits to the elderly people of the Continental Zone in which she reiterated that they have the support of this organization with access to the different social assistance programs that are designed for them.
She also launched the first stage of the wheelchair support program for island families. The first beneficiary was Mrs. Felipa Canul, who is a grandmother of 32 grandchildren and an example of family life.
The DIF president said, "With the support of my husband, the municipal president Juan Carrillo Soberanis, through the DIF, we contribute with the greater welfare of our families, seeking their healthy development, with access to the social programs and actions we undertake, both on the island and in the Continental Zone, focused on children, young people, pregnant women, people with disabilities and the elderly."
Thanks to the support provided by the wheelchair program, people who are unable to walk on their own have a new life expectancy, and the possibility of having more independence to carry out their daily activities.
Sterilization 🐶🐱 is a procedure that benefits the health of the community and of your pets, and prevents the procreation of numerous adult dogs and puppies that are abandoned.Go to the facilities of the association "Isla Animals" on Thursdays from 10 am to 3 pm.

This information was translated yesterday and also mentions that the island's business sector wants the City to invest the more than 6 million pesos they pay each year for the collection tax of garbage to improve the fleet of trucks that collect and transport the trash. It also notes the the debt owed by the municipality of Benito Juarez for the mainland landfill has not been paid and discussion has had no result so apparently legal action is being taken.
