Up to now, the 7.4-magnitude earthquake in Colombia has caused more than 200 deaths and extensive property damage, and the Colombian government declared a “state of national disaster.” Some regions and cities in Chocó, Valle del Cauca, Risaralda, and Caldas provinces were the hardest hit. The Geological Service of Colombia warned that the aftershocks could last for days or even weeks. The Chinese Embassy in Colombia reminds Chinese compatriots in Colombia not to go to the above regions unnecessarily.

In case of an emergency, please call the police immediately and contact the Chinese Embassy in Colombia for assistance.
