48 new infections in Los Lagos and 1 a deceased in Puerto Montt, was what was reported in the latest government balance sheet about the covid-19 pandemic in the area.
In turn, the authorities showed concern about the departure of people from the regional capital to buy in other communes.
36 cases in the province of Llanquihue, 10 in that of Osorno and 1 in Palena. This is how the last balance is broken down, which also leaves an elderly person from Puerto Montt deceased, who suffered from a chronic disease and died at home the same day he was notified.
Despite this, the authorities’ focus was on the notable increase in people making purchases in communes surrounding the regional capital, as in Puerto Varas, where greater controls are being coordinated to avoid the situation.
The Minister of Health, Scarlett Molt, reminded the community that not all people are authorized to leave Puerto Montt.
Cristian Eguía, head of Defense in the area, commented that in this situation it is uncertain when the quarantine could be repealed in the capital of the Los Lagos region.
In addition, during the day and after days of uncertainty, Mayor Harry Jürgensen finally settled the controversy about who has the responsibility of order that social distancing be respected in public transport.
The authorities are coordinating more audits at the exits of the regional capital, to prevent more people break the current quarantine indefinitely in the city.
