translated from Spanish: Quinteros case: RN deputy officiated DGAC and Minsal to know if senator had a health passport

MS RN Andrés Celis sent offices to the Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC) and the Ministry of Health to find out whether the Socialist senator Rabindranath Quinteros had a health passport when he traveled to Puerto Montt.
The parliamentarian, who was the first member of the congress infected, embarked south, even though a PCR examination of coronavirus had just been conducted, which he eventually tested positive for. “There are very clear procedures regarding air travel for the duration of the pandemic and no one is above that. If the senator took the test before he traveled there was a possibility that he was infected, so it is important to know if the authority allowed the trip knowing the background or if the senator omitted them,” the deputy argued.
Celis also set up the Senate Ethics Committee to take matters into his own hands. “So far we do not know whether the Senate Ethics Committee has taken action in this case, even though all of Chile learned of the irresponsibility of an MP who traveled knowing that he was awaiting the results of a coronavirus test,” he added.
For this case, the Public Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation to assess possible responsibilities of Senator Quinteros and on a par with the authorities initiated a health summary. In addition, this day, the Ombudsman’s Office reported that the one-year-old boy, a cancer patient, and his mother, who traveled on the same plane to Puerto Montt with Quinteros, tested NEGATIVE for COVID-19.
