Reliable source of quarantine info for the over 70 crowd in Cali?

According to Pres. Duque people over seventy are supposed to be in quarantine until June 30 although he says there will be announced soon some flexibility.  I am over seventy and have been going to the supermarket and bank with no problems.  We have to do this as we have nobody to do this for us.

Thanks for your reply but I should have been more specific. My understanding is being outside is allowed only for certain days and times based on the last number of your cedula. That's information I can't find anywhere.

What I have seen for Cali, the pico y cédula allows people to go outside based on the last digit of your cédula, for grocery shopping and other business such as banking:

Lunes: 1 y 2
Martes: 3 y 4
Miércoles: 5, 6 y 7
Jueves: 8, 9 y 0

The above from:

From the outside (I'm in the US) I have not been able to find much definitive information except that personas mayores de 70 años will continue until the end of May virtually imprisoned in their homes and not allowed out, according to this article of 20 May:

Starting June 1 these restrictions will ease to allow some "outside space" for seniors but just how is not yet specified.  "Preventive isolation" for seniors will continue until 30 June.  From the above article,

En el caso de las personas mayores de 70 años, por ejemplo, "hasta el 30 de junio siguen permaneciendo en aislamiento preventivo". Sin embargo, Duque aclaró este martes que el Ministerio de Salud ya está trabajando en protocolos para "permitirles que tengan algo de espacio exterior".

Of course the Mayor of Cali has some ideas, too, and he may extend the isolation of seniors:

These two articles also repeat that adultos mayores, those over 70, are to continue as virtual prisoners at least through May:

If I were now in Cali as a non-resident with no cédula I would go out when and where I chose and let the chips fall where they may - I'd wear a hat, and a mask, so perhaps I would not stand out so much as a senior.  If I had a cédula I would obey the pico y cédula rules.   If the police or other authorities stopped me I would plead ignorance, as well as explaining the necessity that I not be a prisoner in my own home and that I need to go out just as they allow others.

Your information is at least specific. I heard yesterday that the  pico y cédula rules had been changed and that all cedula IDs ending in even numbers and those ending in odd numbers had been assigned specific days to be out but not spread out in your example. i.e. if your number ended in 0,2,4,6 or 8 your days were... and so on. I can't find anything supporting this alleged change.

You are correct, they changed it!

I found it on Youtube.  It will now be pares e impares por turno, even and odd by turn.  This was posted 24 May and is for 26-31 May.  They don't say if it will be in effect in June.

At the 1:01 mark they show the schedule, based on the last number of the cédula:

Miércoles, viernes y domingo:  2, 4, 6, 8 y 0
Martes, jueves y sábado:  1, 3, 5, 7 y 9

Here's the video:

I looked at a webpage for the Mayoralty of Cali and they still have the old cédula schedule posted.  And many internet articles and pages in Colombia (and sadly here in the US too) have no dates on them so you can't tell if what they say is timely or still in effect...

Thanks for this. Now I know where to look in the future if this YT channel updates with changes.

The best way to keep up on the pico y cédula rules is through the local newspaper in each city.  We are in Pereira and the pico y cédula ended effective today.  This is a local mayoral decision.
