Municipal Markets have a huge place in Latin American culture. They are not only a place to buy the necessities that are needed day to day, but also a place to socialize, gossip, and connect with one's community. This tweet announces that one of the markets in the community of Oaxaca in Mexico is closing so that it can be sanitized and then cleaned to minimize the risk of Covid-19
