Minister Paris and the effect of the transition: We cannot project anything, it depends on each inhabitant

A few hours after another six communes advance to the transition phase this Monday, the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, avoided sharing government estimates of the effect of this gradual deconfinement.

Questioned during the last daily report by the eventual consequences of the large number of people at a fair in Peñalolén, one of the towns that will take the step tomorrow, Paris remarked that “We cannot project anything, because that depends on the responsibility of each inhabitant”.

“It depends on maintaining the use of the mask, that is the fundamental thing; that the hand washing or the use of alcohol gel is maintained; that physical distancing is maintained, especially when they go to the banks, when they go to charge some money, when they go to do some paperwork, “he reiterated, also asking that the companies in which rows are usually seen cooperate by marking the paths.

The minister insisted that “If we maintain the distance and the mask, we will avoid the spread of the virus”, adding that “obviously we will be attentive to what happens in Peñalolén, and when we have the figures we will release them. “

On the other hand, the mayor of Padre Hurtado, Jose Miguel Arellano, admitted that the confirmation of their transition has them “happy on the one hand, but also with a burden of responsibility for this to take us a step back“.

For the moment, the municipality will face the measure “by demarcating the streets, especially the bus stops so that people can take collective transportation”, and also with a campaign that promotes that this phase is only in force “from Monday to Friday, the The quarantine is maintained for a week, and with the new news also that the curfew is extended by one hour. “

In addition, the Undersecretary of Assistance Networks, Arturo Zúñiga, pointed out that by shortening the curfew, the number of detainees has decreased in the last two days.

Increased traceability in Santiago and Central Station

While Father Hurtado; Peñalolén; Peñaflor; San José de Maipo; Curicó and Los Andes prepare to start the lack of definition, the Undersecretary of Public Health, Paula Daza, highlighted the increase in traceability in Santiago and Central Station, which today end their first week in transition.

“The first thing is the active search for cases, because we know that greater mobility can have an increase in cases. In communes such as Estación Central and Santiago today more than 30 percent of cases come from active search“, he detailed.

On the other hand, on the potential effect of the reopening of three shopping centers tomorrow in Central StationDaza remarked that they will continue to monitor the rise in infections, because “in those places where there are larger crowds, where people gather, where they do not respect sanitary measures, there may be an increase in cases.”
