The latest numbers of infections and deaths from the Covid-19 pandemic in Argentina were very negative. And that context generated a high complication for the return of soccer in the country, which seemed a fact until a few days ago. Nicolás Kreplak , Buenos Aires Vice Minister of Health, was very critical.
The doctor, who indicated that his gaze is from the side of "a specialist and not an official", was blunt: "You cannot predict how the pandemic is coming. If it is not essential that there be a tournament this year and you cannot to play, not to play. Even though I love soccer, I interpret health as the main priority. "
In the program "The Immense Minority", on Radio con Vos, he commented: "If we are analyzing the situation, with countries with two million cases, such as Brazil, opening international exchanges for a sport, which although we all love it, it is something that can be taken up again next year and nothing will change . "
And the official threw a question to the air: "If we stop because there were cases in Europe, how are we going to open when the cases are in Latin America?"
Lastly, Kreplak emphasized this very critical situation from the statistics. "We are in a number of deaths that is very significant. We have to communicate to society that the idea of returning to post-pandemic activities is far from being lived."
