The message refers to dogs being present in the intensive care unit at Monseñor Sanabria Hospital for medical reasons.
In sports coverage, La Nación quoted Óscar ‘Macho’ Ramírez ahead of a major football match: ” Óscar ‘Macho’ Ramírez visualiza una ‘noche linda’ en el Morera Soto ante LAFC en Concachampions https://t.co/4EGWxuQOvR”.
