Like the City of Buenos Aires, Greater Buenos Aires will add flexibilities for the new stage that the AMBA will face, moving from social, preventive and compulsory isolation (ASPO) to moving to
social, preventive and mandatory distancing (DISPO
).
In a press conference this Friday afternoon, after the presidential announcement, Governor Axel Kicillof communicated the new measures, which imply that they reach both the Conurbano and Greater La Plata.
From now on, the decisions about the openings pass to the faculty of each district.
In addition, the president announced that his province will access "approximately 6 million" doses of the vaccine that Russia developed against the coronavirus.
"
Today we can announce that we will probably have doses very soon for approximately 6 million Buenos Aires,
" said Kicillof.
Kicillof assured that "the provincial vaccination plan against Covid, public and free, will mark a before and after." "Of course it is a path that will begin with the sectors that most urgently need to be protected, workers essential, health, safety. "He also explained that the operation will be carried out in schools.
Regarding the new phase of social distancing, the governor defined: "The stage of the protocols begins."
He celebrated that the Province marks the "
tenth week of decline
in the number of registered cases."
And he added: "As of Tuesday we are going to leave the isolation stage to move to distancing," he announced, noting that now he will reinforce five measures to go from flattening the curve to "squashing it."
"If the cases continue to decline at this rate, we will be able to announce
new activities starting next week
," he anticipated.
One of these flexibilities will be in restaurants and bars, where the
consumption of food and beverages
will be allowed
inside the premises
, as well as outdoors, as it was until now.
Shows will also be allowed in
cinemas and theaters
, sports and religious with a capacity up to 50%.
In addition, closed gyms and collective sports activities of up to 10 people were enabled in closed places, such as soccer games 5. In all these cases, Kicillof clarified, the places must have "natural ventilation."
An important point has to do with going
back to school
.
33 municipalities in the suburbs were placed in the category of "medium risk" of contagions, and thus it was enabled that students of all levels - just over three million boys and girls from 9,100 educational units - start
re-linking activities
, although it will not be in school buildings.
They will be allowed to have activities - voluntary for both schools and students - in the open air, on closed grounds and in groups of up to 10 students.
"We are doing exactly what we had announced. The news is how many municipalities are in a situation of low, medium or high risk. In the 26 municipalities with low risk, some two weeks ago, others this week and others in which it begins on Monday face-to-face classes are being resumed, "Kicillof explained and said that in the 82 medium-risk municipalities" we have also been working with re-linking activities, which are not classes because you cannot teach under an umbrella. "
And he questioned again without mentioning it to the Rodríguez Larreta administration: "When they tell us that the province does not want to give classes, it is not that classes are returning. In the province of Buenos Aires, with five million students, they never The pedagogical activities were stopped. There were always classes and for that we created digital platforms and distributed 13 million booklets ".
Beyond these flexibilities,
restrictions will continue on public transport
: only those who carry out essential activities may use it.
The rest will be able to circulate, but not in buses or trains.
"It is a new stage, not the end of the quarantine," Teresa García, the Buenos Aires Minister of Government, had said earlier.
The five measures to avoid regrowth
1 - Sustain and deepen the active search for cases with: surveillance pools, territorial approaches with the DetectAr plan and telephone tracking of close contacts.
2 - Strengthen care guidelines with the use of chinstraps, hand washing, reducing non-essential mobility, social distancing and avoiding crowds of people and meetings in closed environments.
3 - Intelligent distancing: promoting the use of public space, making a choice of close contacts, promoting individual responsibility in choosing contacts.
4 - Active monitoring of close contacts
5 - Isolation and quarantine: continue to raise awareness of isolation for confirmed Covid-19 patients and their close contacts and have the responsibility to return to a stage of less circulation and quarantine if any population has a significant increase in cases.
