As never before, since the quarantine was declared on March 20, the extension of a new phase of sanitary measures received so little media and political attention.

, the drop in the curve in the

and the exchange rate crisis partly explain the drop in expectations.

The head of state will announce this Friday in Misiones together with local governor

the extension of the isolation for another two weeks, until November 8. 

It will be almost in the same terms as on October 9, when he decreed more rigid measures and reduced circulation for more than 70 departments in 18 provinces.

The cases, however, did not stop growing, although the system did not collapse, as emphasized in La Rosada, 

The President remains attached to the strategy he inaugurated at the beginning of the month: to

in the provinces that now concentrate the highest number of infected.

In those terms, he was referring to repeating the coordination dynamics that he had inaugurated with the Buenos Aires governor

and with the head of the City Government

.

To that end, the president held a videoconference this Thursday afternoon with the governors of the

:

.

The provincial leaders supported extending the restrictive measures for another 14 days and almost all spoke of improvement.

"The President shares the revenue and the political cost of the measures," his closest officials said weeks ago. 

In the North room of the Casa Rosada, where a while before he had virtually greeted

on her 90th birthday, the President listened to the

and offered his own.

"The only thing that orders is

" said Fernández.

Accompanied by the Chief of Staff

, the Secretary General of the Presidency Julio Vitobello and the Minister of Health

;

Fernández recounted part of his conversation with French President

, who is going through the second wave of coronavirus infections.

Fernández illustrated that

, the same geographic metaphor that was used to explain the situation in the AMBA weeks ago.

Fernández once again put

as an example of crisis management

, who managed to stabilize the contagion curve in Jujuy after an explosion of cases and after closing activities.

Cordoba

, who in recent weeks reiterated gestures of

, agreed with the diagnosis.

“We are on a high plateau of cases.

We are going to continue with restrictive measures on schedules and circulation, especially from 20 to 06. Our idea is to continue with restrictions for 14 days.

We believe that we are going through the peak, we are not going to start classes and there are a number of activities that we cannot authorize, ”he said.

Mendoza's

, who normalized his relationship with the Casa Rosada after

, after declaring that his province would not return to Phase 1, provided a harsh diagnosis.

He stressed that there is relief in intensive care units, although in Greater Mendoza the occupation would exceed 90 percent.

“There are 186 people hospitalized in a critical situation.

There is a health alert, at 11.30 pm the circulation in the province is cut off, ”said the radical governor.

The Health Minister reiterated that the prescription started 14 days ago is the one indicated.

"We must continue on this path because there are places where compliance is not effective," said González García, who emphasized the role of the

at the federal level.

Despite the fact that on Wednesday the record of 18 thousand infections was reached - which is not necessarily a photo of the day -

.

In several provinces the restrictions that had been ordered with the last decree were not complied with. 

The Tucuman

, in any case, expressed that they will continue to tighten the limits to the circulation.

“We are complying with the restriction measures.

Although the situation is complex, we are limiting everything that is within our reach and we intend to continue the next 15 days in this scheme, ”he said.

Alberto Rodríguez Saá, from San Luis, elaborated on the same line.

We have a small sign of improvement, but we are going to the same scheme for 14 more days.

Beyond everyone's fatigue, we are going to continue with mobility restrictions from 8 pm onwards, ”he said.

Arabela Carreras

, from Río Negro, who on Wednesday met alone with the President at the Casa Rosada, was the only one who did not allow herself to speak of an improvement.

“We are increasingly in

.

We cannot say that we are on a plateau, we have a slight increase in cases, ”he said before adding that he will add two more towns to the ASPO area: Viedma and Dina Huapi.

His neighbor, Omar Gutiérrez, from Neuquén, asked the Government for more tests and doctors.

In the environment of a Peronist governor who participated in the meeting, they pointed out that Fernández's direct involvement with the cases will be profitable for the Government.

"After the climax of cases, it only remains to hold on and wait for them to decline," they stated.

Accompanied by his partner

, the President will give a press conference with

, after inaugurating a hospital and road works.

Misiones is one of the provinces with the least contagion.
