translated from Spanish: Strengthen audits in communes with total quarantine at the national level

Considering that more than 16 million people have been quarantined since this weekend, Undersecretary of Public Health Paula Daza explained that this is one of the toughest and most difficult measures. However, he stressed that mobility needed to be reduced, as the decline in contagions was linked to decreased people’s interaction. In this context, Undersecretary Daza noted that more than 3.7 million people have been audited over the past 6 days throughout Chile, and that checkpoints have increased by more than 14,000. Alongside the above, starting this week, the auditers who will be present in more than 650 points at the national level will be increased to 2,400, along with the Armed Forces, Carabinieri and the Investigation Police.” We are making a great effort to control and ensure that health regulations are met, particularly during this weekend where individual permits are not allowed. The commitment of citizens is essential. We hope that people will respect health measures for the common good and that it is not for a health summary or a fine,” he stressed.
