The Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, referred to the start of a health summary for a church in San Carlos, Ñuble region, after the publication of a video in which a man is seen dancing cueca next to a coffin. The measure applied to the aforementioned funeral was announced this Saturday and is due to the fact that “the funeral protocol would have been breached in the context of a pandemic, regarding the physical distancing of the attendees, and Resolution 341 of the Minsal on a maximum number of 50 people in closed spaces. “
Regarding this case, the head of the Minsal only stated that “we will await the result of the summary implemented in San Carlos.” But, regarding funerals, Paris was consulted by the ceremony of the ex-archbishop of La Serena, Bernardino Piñera, where a controversy was also generated, which only remained in comments, about the number of attendees.
The minister reiterated that “all protocols were followed” at the funeral in which President Piñera also participated, accompanied by the first Lady, Cecilia Morel.
Recall that the president’s uncle, Bernardino, died at 104 years of covid-19 pneumonia, as detailed in his death certificate.
It should be mentioned that this is not the first time that Minister Paris assures that the protocol was complied with. On June 22, the Secretary of State raised it in the balance sheet, noting that “in circumstances of such pain, I think that using this situation by a parliamentarian, who has the right to control, seems to me that it is not the most appropriate. protocols have been followed. “
