With regard to the policies that the national government is taking to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the country, who gave his feelings and specified the role of the Ministry of Defense in this process was its holder, the former national deputy, Agustín Rossi. “These measures that when you see them as other countries have acted gives me the idea that we are very good. The measures now taken by other countries were taken with a greater number of infected people. As drastic as they sound, it’s the ones to take,” he said. In dialogue with Futurock, the official emphasized that from his portfolio they are “involved from day one because the protocol that was first applied was at Argentine Antarctic bases.”

In this line, he commented that from his portfolio they are carrying out production tasks: “in military laboratories, we have a laboratory that work not with commercial sense but with a sense of supply, that production levels have to do with that.” We have improved the equipment, in the case of gel alcohol we will go from producing 400/500 liters per week to producing 1000 liters per day and everything we produce will be available to the Ministry of Health to tell us where to go,” he said. He also said: “We have a textile workshop called Military Tailoring that makes uniforms for staff. Well, we’ve stopped that production and put all the staff to make slugs and nightgowns, among other things.”
Prices for gel alcohol should return to those in force on 19/2
Ultimately, he stressed that “all efforts are convergent. I found the presence of the head of the autonomous city of Buenos Aires very well, in addition to the city having 50% of the cases infected in the country.” It is worth remembering that through Resolution 86/2020 published in the Official Gazette it was specified in the last week of an order to roll back the prices of alcohol gel to 15 February and maintain its value for 90 days. In addition, companies were urged to increase production. The document in question understands that “in the face of the situation raised and for the purpose of ensuring health protection and avoiding contagion situations, it is necessary to ensure access to gel alcohol in all its presentations on reasonable, fair and equitable terms on the part of the population”.
