The government of Catamarca determined today the suspension of mass events and restrictions on circulation hours, due to the sharp increase in cases of coronavirus that occurred during the last week in the province, official sources reported today. The speed of the registered contagion makes us think that if we continue in this way we can amount to 1,000 or 1,500 active cases in the coming days, and that is why the need for the measures, “said the provincial Minister of Health, Manuela Avila, at a press conference. Faced with this situation, the provincial Executive Power issued a decree by which they provide “to resume the restriction of movement throughout the provincial territory between 3.30 and 6.00, every day, except for those who are duly authorized to work in that time slot.”
