“For the AMBA and tourist destinations we still do not take any definition, that will depend on the analysis that we continue to do during this week,” he said in subsequent statements to radio AM 750, adding: “The real compass that we are going to have is when we close this Sunday and let’s look at the total number of cases for the week. “
Bianco explained that “the phase change system is intermittent and allows that, when you see an outbreak or massive contagion, you can take a step back.”
From the tourist town of San Bernardo, the chief of staff explained that “there are 109 districts in phase 4, 17 municipalities in phase 5 and 9 municipalities in phase 3”.
The coordinating minister indicated that 15 municipalities “fell out of phase” due to the increase in coronavirus cases.
“The districts with phase 3, during a week and until analyzing the epidemiological situation, are going to take a step back to control the sources of contagion,” he said.
The official explained that in this phase, social activities cannot be carried out in closed spaces, events of up to 100 people, nor will shopping malls, shopping centers, holiday camps and nursery schools be enabled.
After Kicillof’s meeting with the mayors, Bianco indicated that it was defined “to go out to strengthen the controls and call on the population to be more careful.”
“Hopefully that reaches because, if not, we will have to take stricter measures that will be defined over time,” he added.
Regarding the possibility of returning to a scheme of economic assistance in the event that progress is made in greater controls on circulation, Bianco pointed out that “if at any moment strict isolation is defined, both the Province and the Nation will be available in order to sustain the income of the population “.
