The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, assured that the Government is working with the “scenario” of opening the fourth dose of the covid vaccine to the general population. “We have already given the fourth dose to immunocompromised people and, starting next week, the vaccine presentation will begin to assess vaccination for other groups, for example for those over 80 years of age,” she said in an interview with the newspaper The country.
On Thursday, the obligation to wear a mask in closed spaces ends, with some exceptions such as public transport and health centers, and the minister has left it to the companies to determine if it is necessary to wear it and how in the workplace.

“I will continue to make responsible use,” he said, and clarified that it will continue to be mandatory “in transport by plane, rail, bus, subway and also in transport by ship.”
