During the contingency due to COVID-19, municipal personnel have worked hard, with the necessary sanitary measures, and constituted 113 Peace Centers, 35 of them in schools including the “Josefa Ortiz de Dom\u00ednguez” Elementary School in the evening shift, the Executive University of State of Mexico, the Paulo Freire School and the \u201cDavid Paul Ausubel SC\u201d Educational Institute, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Likewise, eight children’s creches have joined including Carmen Rodr\u00edguez, Julieta Lechuga de Pichardo and Carmen Maza de Del Mazo; 12 delegations such as San Crist\u00f3bal Huichochitl\u00e1n, S\u00e1nchez, Santa Cruz Atzcatpotzaltongo, San Felipe Tlalmimilolpan and La Maquinita; three churches such as the parish “San Pablo Ap\u00f3stol” in San Pablo Autopan and the Capilla del Salvador in San Crist\u00f3bal Huichochitl\u00e1n; 11 health centers, six clinics, six companies such as Manufactureras Qualy, three markets and the 26 libraries of Toluca.<\/p>\n
