The traffic light color system will be implemented for the gradual reopening of the country starting June 1, 2020. It will consist of four colors (green, yellow, orange, and red) that represent the severity of the pandemic in each state. The traffic light will be updated weekly and each color will indicate which activities are safe to resume. (ILKHA)
