translated from Spanish: Porteños dealers to reopen this week

Last week there was the reopening of some concessionaires located provinces or municipalities that allowed the return of this activity of the automotive sector. At the press conference given by President Alberto Fernández; Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, head of government and Axel Kicillof, governor of the province of Buenos Aires, announced a new stage of quarantine. The Autonomous City of Good Aires and the AMBA continue in the same way, because it is the place where there is more circulation of coronavirus, the main focus. The rest of the provinces and districts with a low number of cases are moving towards Phase 4, which allows for more flexibilities. Although Capital Federa and Greater Buenos Aires are the places most affected by COVID-19 there are activities that will return to work, as is the case with dealers. Horacio Rodríguez Larreta reported that on Thursday, May 14, jewellery, watches and bijouterie, bicycles, furniture stores, real estate, car and motorcycle dealerships and bicycles will reopen. Grantees will need to implement safety protocols such as those that have already been adapted in other provinces. While in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires they will open from municipal permits. Otherwise they will remain closed. Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Peugeot and Toyota were the first to announce that they would reopen their dealerships last week when the fourth phase of quarantine had not yet been entered.
