There it is very important to hold the meetings in open places,” he said. In this line, as did the Minister of Health of the Nation, she confirmed the circulation of new variants of coronavirus in the city of Buenos Aires. “I’ve been communicating it for several days, we’ve been detecting both manaus and British strains, initially with people who came on the road, then close contacts with people who came on the road and in the last few days people who don’t have a clear bond with those who have traveled,” Quirós said. Accuracy that the greatest number of infected are between people in their 20s and 60s, the health holder commented that “the worst situation for the treatment of this pandemic is fear.” “A person who is frightened, afraid or afraid has difficulty participating in collective care,” he said. National government announcements
