translated from Spanish: Minister Paris ruled out quarantines in June and return to school before August

In an interview with La Tercera, Health Minister Enrique Paris acknowledged that “the issue of traceability and isolation or treatment must be improved. We must also speed up the delivery of exams, they cannot be delayed so long. That’s what we’re going to insist on.” We’re doing a job with the labs, and the ministry itself has a program, similar to the clinics, to get their exam over the phone and not have to go to the lab. Insist that when the diagnosis is made, the notification will be made,” he added. In the same vein, he said he wants to “reinforce the issue of IRAs (Acute Respiratory Infection Rooms) where kinesiologists handled all children, and adults as well, with respiratory failure. It needs to be reinforced because at the office level we can do a lot to prevent the patient from getting worse.” The new Health holder said that “you have to find the patient who has the positive test and isolate it. Sanitary residences are not being fully occupied, there are people who cannot stay at home and cannot make a good quarantine has to go to the sanitary residence.” In this regard, he stated that “we will try to make it mixed, and that the practices can give medical leave. But that can’t be promised overnight. I hope that this week we can give this signal, that’s why I have a meeting with Fonasa on Monday.” He also stated that “people’s exit permits need to be more monitored, more stringent in the control of permits, quarantines, curfew.” Paris argued that permits should not be banned, but that we have to try to “look for a formula. I always think it’s better to convince first, do it for reason and see if that pays off. It’s an idiosyncratic thing of the population, and it also has to do with the economic capacity of families.” The secretary of state argued that “if the father has no salary, has no money, he has to go out to work. Then economic measures are needed. That’s why I’m so glad an agreement was reached last night. It’s a good sign for people, the distribution of food boxes has also been well-assessed by the population.” On quarantines, the Health Minister ruled out being able to get up this month, explaining that “we are at 14 June in June. There’s still all of June. The worst comes in June, I think. Or very bad. The first 15 days of July I think we’re going to keep high numbers. I think it’s only in August, God willing, we’re going to see quarantine efforts rewarded, if people fulfill them.” Finally, consulted at the option of schools returning to school before August, Paris ruled that “before August, no. No way. I think we should take advantage of the first two weeks of August even to give holidays and maybe from then on think about the return. But I dare not say a date, we need mathematical models that can give us a certain prognosis, for at least two weeks.”
