Event

Healthcare unions are calling for a strike for the entire Navarre Health Services on Feb. 15. Union leaders are demanding improved working conditions throughout the region. Striking healthcare workers may protest outside hospitals and other government buildings.

Security personnel will likely deploy to monitor and manage the demonstrations. Protests are likely to pass off peacefully. Additional strike action, including in other regions, are possible in the coming weeks.

Advice

Confirm all healthcare appointments Feb. 15. Allow extra time if seeking healthcare provisions. Avoid protest sites to mitigate delays. Heed the directives of local officials.
