“It is a very special day, we have just listened to the president but I want to start by thanking the people of the province of Buenos Aires for the sacrifice and effort and that after so much anguish we have something to celebrate,” the governor said at the out-of-the-box address, in which he touched on various topics on measures and vaccination “The situation we have allows us to enter from Tuesday in a new phase in Greater Buenos Aires. As of Tuesday we have decided that, within the whole region we will leave the isolation stage to move to the estating. I want to repeat that this was possible because of all the sacrifice, effort and solidarity we put at stake, for everything we did and stopped doing,” he added in his speech. On the other hand, he made it clear that there is a chance that measures can be returned back. “If the situation gets worse, we will have to take tougher and tougher measures, otherwise we can relax the restrictions. It is this simple principle that we have been applying and which we have respected to this day.” The decision made jointly between Alberto Fernández, Axel Kicillof and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta was based on the drop in cases and the dead in the districts. On this, the representative revealed encouraging numbers that occurred from the beginning of September to this part.
Kicillof announced new measures in the Province of Buenos Aires.
“We have gone from having 5,300 cases per day to 1900 or fewer cases per day. In 10 weeks, cases dropped to a third. It is still a very large amount, but the truth is that it carries a systematic but slow descendant trajectory. We have 730 beds occupied and by September that number had reached 1250 intensive care beds, almost double,” he argued. With these new aspects, he added, “Let’s move from a stage of crushing the curve to measures that will seek to crush the curve.” For this there will be four vital points such as “sustaining and deepening active search, strengthening care guidelines, an intelligent estating policy, active monitoring of close contacts and sophisticated isolation and quarantine.” We have the coronavirus closer to being able to achieve it, we can speed up the process of accelerating the case reduction process, this is the goal and we need the help of our health system and the bonaerenses,” he said and then revealed some openings in different areas. In bars and restaurants, indoor activity will be allowed with capacity and natural ventilation, as well as limitation of people, the same for gyms and sports activities in enclosed spaces with a maximum of 10 people, always with natural ventilation. On the other hand, in maeria de educación, Kicillof emphasized that 26 municipalities are at “low risk” and in those have been resuming face-to-face classes for two weeks. “There were always classes in the Province of Buenos Aires, that’s why we made digital paltaforms.”
