translated from Spanish: Gollan criticized the rally and the mass celebration at the Obelisk

After the triumph of the Argentine national team against Brazil in the Maracana stadium, in different parts of the country, the fans gathered in the main cities to celebrate the cup. In The Federal Capital the epicenter of the celebration took place on Avenida 9 de Julio and Corrientes, where the Obelisk is located. There thousands of fans dressed in white and blue shirts, sang, beat bass drums and made flags fly, all clear, with no social distance and little use of bottle caps. Also, another significant number of people waited this Sunday for the players in Ezeiza in their triumphant return to the country. Faced with these scenarios, the Minister of Health of Buenos Aires, Daniel Gollan, referred to the scenes of agglomeration that occurred when even in the country the number of coronavirus infections is high.” The truth is that they are the images that we do not like from the health point of view, if we did not have a pandemic they would be beautiful images, “said the head of the Health Portfolio in a dialogue with Radio Rivadavia. He added: “In a pandemic, with cases down and progress in vaccination, we would like to avoid it. I know it’s very difficult.” In addition, the celebrations were replicated in different parts of the country and also extended to some cities around the world.
