After the epidemiological part of this Sunday, in which 2,189 new cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) were registered, the Minister of Health, Ginés González García, He referred to the increase in the rate of contagion and opined on the new phase of social isolation, preventive and compulsory, which from next Wednesday, July 1 will be stricter in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA).
“It is a new virus, we do not know much and it is showing behaviors that were not foreseeable. I am sure that with some successes of ours, with the commitment of the Argentines and because we learned a lot from what happened to the others, we are from the countries of America that has had less consequences in cases and deaths “, explained the minister in dialogue with TN.
On the way in which the Government faced the pandemic since the arrival of the disease in the country, the official considered that “From the outset, we manage the pandemic well because we always regulate the number of cases. If not, the pandemic goes over you”.
Although he acknowledged: “I think we should have – perhaps we did not do it with enough emphasis – better organized by jurisdiction. Federal countries have many complications to make coordinated policies and we made it a phenomenon. We all went together for the same side. But maybe some better organization idea was missing. There are provinces that managed to organize it better than others. “
“We are doing less badly than most. And that is not a little and not only has to do with the Government, but with the effort that the Argentines have made.”
On the other hand, the minister He avoided ensuring that the new phase of social isolation that begins this Wednesday is the last effort.
“We went out to look for the patient when we saw that there was circulation and we greatly expanded the number of tests, as well as that of laboratories, which now number more than 100,” said González García, while confirming that next week the City and the Province of Buenos Aires will add 1,000 tests each.
