translated from Spanish: Individual sports and shops: axes of the Fernández – Larreta meeting

President Alberto Fernández held a solo meeting at the Residence of Olivos with the head of Government of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, to assess the epidemiological and health situation in the city of Buenos Aires. Seeking to advance permits for the opening of shops and the practice of individual sports in the district, officials began to outline the next stage of social, preventive and compulsory isolation (ASPO). From the City it seeks to make the practice of individual sports more flexible for both federated and amateurs, including in this the institutions and sports venues “without common areas”, such as the changing rooms.

The Head of Government handed over the proposal to the President and the two agreed to meet again before Friday to “jointly define the next steps” of quarantine, which has a phase in place until next Sunday, August 16 inclusive. In this way, the Buenos Aires administration seeks to activate the second of the six stages that make up the plan of reopening activities. This phase also includes the activity of the administrative staff of museums and the attendance of libraries but without permanence, and establishes the dispense of the number of ID for physical activity. Other activities planned by the port district for this stage, and which are under analysis, are that of non-essential industries and private parking, among others.

In rigor, the second phase of this scheme also envisaged a series of measures linked to public space, such as the possibility of enabling outdoor gastronomic premises, that is, those premises that have tables and chairs outside, but this alternative was discarded out of the plane. Instead, the enablement of the practice of individual sports and also the permission to reopen the shops located in the Area of Once and Avellaneda Avenue, in the Flores neighborhood, was advanced, which are closed from the beginning of the mandatory isolation. To do this, on Thursday we will finish defining the scheme under which the rating will be given, which could be according to the CUIT of each trader, which implies that those who end in even number will be able to open the even days, while those finished in odd numbers will be able to work on odd days.
