Victoria Garay lives in Tierra del Fuego and her swab was negative but she was denied permission to enter San Luis a dozen times. She, along with her sister and her five-year-old nephew, wants to enter the province of San Luis to see her father who has terminal cancer.

However, the authorities ask them to isolate themselves upon arrival, so they cannot quarantine at home with their father. Now, they decided to go  to court in order to resolve the situation.

"We are going to travel the same way. Today the lawyers are going to present a precautionary measure in the Federal Court of Rio Grande to see if through a judicial measure they grant us permission and do the quarantine with my father," the young woman revealed this Monday in dialogue with Todo Noticias.

"We completed ten forms and they denied us entry, but with the last three they gave us the possibility of doing the 14-day quarantine at the Aiello hotel. But we had to pay 73,500 pesos, " he explained.

And he added: "We prove that we do not have the income to pay for the accommodation and yesterday (Sunday) they contacted us to tell us that they are going to make an exception for us to pass the free isolation at the University of La Punta ."

However, he clarified that they have "negative swabs" and they raised "the possibility of doing a minimum quarantine of five days, which is something that was in force a short time ago in San Luis, but they did not accept it."

What the family is trying to do is to go through the confinement with their father, who is in home confinement: "We want to confine ourselves in my house. We don't plan to walk or go out," he emphasized. Therefore, he hopes that with the request of the lawyers it will come to fruition. 

The story quickly reverberated after the case of Solange Musse, the young woman with cancer whose father was unable to visit due to the sanitary measures imposed in Córdoba, which shocked the country.

In San Luis, meanwhile, the pressure onAlberto Rodríguez Saá. Deputies and senators supported Victoria's request through social networks and asked the governor to intervene urgently.

Legislators Alejandro Cacace, Claudio Poggi, Luis Lucero Guilet and Roxana Reyes spoke in this line.

Governor Alberto Rodríguez Saá, I ask you to authorize, with the appropriate testing, the admission of Victoria Garay to #SanLuis to see her father who is a cancer patient and is seriously ill. The government that you lead has repeatedly prevented you. pic.twitter.com/SrHpNzcoN0

Mr. Governor @alberto_rsaa We ask you to authorize, with proper testing, the admission of Victoria Garay to San Luis to see her father who is an oncological patient and is seriously ill. Her government has repeatedly prevented her from doing so. It is a humanitarian issue.

I ask the San Luis Crisis Committee to grant entry permission to the daughter who lives in T del Fuego and needs to see her father who lives in San Luis and who is an oncological patient and is serious. 10 requests have already been rejected.

We insist on preserving, protecting and privileging the full exercise of our rights, we ask that Victoria Garay enter San Luis and have a human rights perspective in this pandemic. @pietragallahora @alferdez @diputadosucr https://t.co/AIY4KRe6kC
