This was recognized by Captain Angélica Igor, from the Recoleta Sur Sub-station, who pointed out that “indeed, despite the fact that today is Sunday, there has been an increase in the flow of people in the Vega Central, and we have also noticed that the number of requests for temporary permits has increased ”.
The uniformed officer added that “although today the wholesalers who attended the Vega They were a minimum, because it is Sunday, we do have more detainees than in previous days, only until noon we already had 16 at the Recoleta Sur Sub-station. ”
On Sunday, it was possible to verify crowds and little social distance, despite the measures they took in the traditional fruit and vegetable market.
In fact, before entering, people must overcome three health barriers: the first, controlled by military personnel, who is in charge of requesting temporary permits; then comes a second security ring, by the Carabineros, which checks in its digital system if the person is notified with contagion of covid-19, and the third security block is made up of health officials who take the temperature of the clients.
In addition, only six of the 18 doors that have the Vega.
Arturo Guerrero, the spokesperson for said establishment, stated that “usually, one weekend the Vega it receives over 8 thousand people in the 5 hectares, but now there are no more than 1,500 ”.
Guerrero added that “we are applying all the security measures; We have a camera system, and if we see crowds in any hallway, we immediately send out yard inspectors to start ordering people through loudspeakers. ”
