200 days
.

900 and a thousand new infected daily,
the City of Buenos Aires confirmed the openings for the new stage.
"On July 17, we launched a
Comprehensive and Gradual Plan for the Commissioning of the City

the first 3 of the 6 stages,"
said the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, adding: "I want to be clear: The virus continues to circulate, in our City, in other provinces and throughout the world. Many European cities are experiencing re-
growth
situations

What activities are added to the City?
The return of part of the students to the schools has been agreed, after several controversies and
crosses with more political reasons than health.
And after negotiations and meetings between officials, it was agreed to add
construction works of less than
5,000 square meters.
They will be able to work from 10 to 19 from Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays from 10 to 14.

a single address will
be enabled

They will have to comply with a strict protocol and for now they will not be allowed to
use public transport
, which is still reserved for workers in areas considered essential.
Education workers who must return to work will be able to use
trains, subways and buses.
"We have defended a lot at this stage to take steps in closed places with
high volume of air and with control of access of people,
and that at the same time these people do not spend a lot of time in the place. In that the shopping malls can comply," he replied. Friday morning the Buenos Aires Minister of Health, Fernán Quirós, when asked about possible openings.
However, the announcement
did not mention the opening of shopping malls.

Nor to
hotel accommodation,
a sector that this week launched a campaign to ask to reopen.
Everyone should keep waiting.
The
public space and the open air
are, without doubt, the areas in which to develop most of the activities.
Infectologists and health officials agree that there the risk of contagion is lower than in closed places, and that is why the City prioritizes open spaces.
In that sense, it was confirmed that
gyms
will be able to
function on
terraces or patios
.

group classes
that are seen in parks and squares throughout the City, especially in the afternoons.

the common spaces of the buildings
.
There is also
fiction recording for film and television
, with a capacity limited to one person every 15 square meters, with a limit of 20 in the filming areas, without audiences in studios.
