President Alberto Fernández did not rule out that the quarantine must be tightened due to the high number of coronavirus cases, especially in the AMBA. “I am very concerned about the situation,” he said.
“I think we have to get a little firm because this is not working“The president warned and announced that he will touch on the subject this afternoon with the Buenosairean governor, Axel Kicillof, and the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
Fernández assured in dialogue with Radio Con Vos that “what we cannot do is let the problem progress.” “It is very possible that the curve will go up again and it has to do with people on the streets, with people meeting, with people eating a barbecue, “he added.
“We are going to talk about it,” he replied when asked if there will be any new restriction or a return to the quarantine phase.
Meetings with infectious diseases and with Larreta and Kicillof
President Alberto Fernández consults this noon to the infectologists that make up the Committee of Experts that advises him since the coronavirus pandemic was declared. In the afternoon, he will meet with the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof, and the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, to analyze the continuity of the quarantine in the AMBA.
On August 3, the last extension of the isolation in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) expires, while most of the provinces of the interior of the country are in a stage of distancing, with greater flexibility in their activities, due to the low number of cases of infection.
Thus, while the AMBA is in phase 3 with restrictions on the movement of its inhabitants and specific opening of activities gradually and with protocols, much of the country is in phases 4 and 5, with greater flexibility in activities and in circulation.
