The same health guild had raised a petition on Thursday demanding that the Minister of Health, Fabián Puratich, pay the staffing plant the arrears and the liquidation of the “trigger clauses” of 15% pending last year more retroactively owed, arguing that “instead of asking for applause and recognition for the work in the face of the pandemic (coronavirus) it would be better to pay us.” In dialogue with Télam, Carlos Sepúlveda argued: “We can no longer hold with two salaries in and on top of the Minister of Economy (Oscar Antonena) spoke of the payment of public administration ranks that we are not in.” Amid the strong epicenter claim in Trelew, the director of that hospital Sebastián Restuccia announced loudly, at the workers’ assembly in the corridors of the local hospital, that he had submitted the resignation to the post and assured that all the directors of the programmatic areas were willing to do the same.” The directors of the programmatic area of Comodoro, the directors of the programmatic area of Puerto Madryn, we are all presenting the resignation”, said Restuccia in the middle of the workers’ assembly of the hospital of Trelew, the city with the most cases of Covid 19 positive of Chubut that was declared as a town with community circulation of the virus. In the meantime, Minister Puratich went to the hospital to listen to the claims in person, to transfer the field to Governor Mariano Arcioni’s cabinet, where he received in response that he had to decide “whether he wanted to act as a doctor or as an official,” as he was able to reconstruct Télam from reliable sources that did not guarantee the continuity of the official in office. Chubut province confirmed three new coronavirus infections in the city of Trelew, where 12 of the 14 total positive cases in the province are found, official sources reported today. In dialogue with the local media, the director of the hospital recalled that “one of the three new cases has no epidemiological nexus with the remaining ones, which reinforces the idea of community circulation of the virus”, which Was referred to by President Alberto Fernández in his last message, last night, by extending quarantine.
