The Minister of Health of the province of Buenos Aires, Daniel Gollan, said a few moments ago that the Buenos Aires Government wants to “muddle as little as possible” people who have gone on a trip abroad and remarked that “the will is to preserve the health of the people.” In this way, the official specified that the purpose of the resolution made official today, which states that buenoserenses who travel abroad must make a mandatory isolation for four days in a hotel, at a cost to the tourist and, then, complete the period of seven days at home , points in this direction. This was provided for in Resolution 192 of the Chief of Staff and the Ministry of Health of Buenos Aires, published in the Official District Gazette, which aims to delay the entry of the Delta variant of the coronavirus.
In a conversation with AM530, Gollán indicated that there are currently about 10,000 Argentines outside the country, while recalling that those travelers, before leaving, “signed an affidavit in which he said that they assumed the consequences if there was a change in epidemiological status that forced them to reschedule the return.” There are no stranded people who didn’t know what was going to happen to them. These are people who knew and came out. Despite that, in the province of Buenos Aires we are taking a series of measures that will alleviate as much as possible the situation for the tourist who left,” he explained. In that context, Gollan stressed: “We have nothing with which he left for tourism or work, but we have to protect the Argentine population from the variants that are entering.”
In explaining the procedure provided for in the resolution made official on this day, the minister said that “three days before traveling, the person must have a negative PCR and, when he arrives in Ezeiza, he is tested for antigens.” He also said that if that test is positive, “he goes to a hotel to comply with the quarantine,” but if the test yields a negative result “he will go to an isolated hotel for four days.” A total of 7,157 positive cases of coronavirus were recorded in the last 24 hours in the province of Buenos Aires, bringing the number of those infected since the beginning of the pandemic to 1,842,876, the Buenos Aires Ministry of Health reported. The health ministry also said that the dead total 47,568 people and noted that yesterday the total number of vaccinated was 100,313, on a list of registered 9,635,810.
