Provinces: new restrictions due to increase in Covid-19 cases

Precisely, the district governed by Sergio Uñac returned to Phase 1 on Friday throughout the province, after having taken the measure the day before only in the town of Caucete, where the initial focus was given. The province intensified controls to detect the epidemiological link. The governor said the intention is for the isolation to be only for fourteen days. And, in an interview with Diario de Cuyo, he mentioned: “The greatest effort will allow us to return to that normality that we had, which was almost a complete normality.” In addition, among the measures to prevent the situation from spilling over, sashes were placed on the houses of isolated people to control that they comply with the quarantine. The intention is to avoid that a course like Jujuy, which went from being the province with the most openness to the first district with a saturated health system.

In Mendoza, meanwhile, the cases multiplied by eight in a month. And, like San Juan, there was greater flexibility than in the rest of the country, even opening up domestic tourism. Now, as a result of the spike in the contagion curve in the province managed by the radical Rodolfo Suarez, the intedentes began to restrict activities. Thus, the Peronist Emir Félix, communal chief of San Rafael, ordered to close gastronomic establishments and prohibit access to clubs and churches for at least 14 days, after detecting 103 cases in less than a week, which appeared after an infected evangelist pastor toured several homes.

The Peronist intedentes had been more jealous of the openings of Suarez, and the first rise in cases occurred in Greater Mendoza (the capital and its surroundings). But now, other municipalities have also begun to register the spread of Covid.

In Jump, meanwhile, the government of Gustavo Sáenz resolved that group sports activities cannot be carried out, nor can they stay in squares and urban parks in the resolution that determines the suspensions, in principle, until August 30. It also suspended gastronomic activities, the opening of shopping centers, supermarkets and shops in general for Sundays.

In Río Negro worries about the saturation of the health system in the Alto Valle area. In fact, yesterday a 70-year-old man died after contracting coronavirus In the town of Allen, without being able to get him a bed in intensive care. The greatest tension occurs precisely in Roca and Cipolleti, in the same area.

However, in some provinces there were positive developments: in La Pampa Governor Sergio Zilliotto enabled family gatherings. And in Chaco a deceleration of the curve begins to be seen. In tune, President Jorge Capitanich authorized the move to Phase 3, with the green light to recreational outings, gyms, sport fishing, funeral services, family reunions, galleries and clothing stores, among other activities.
