"There are measures that we know work more and others that have more defects. One knows that it is a set of measures, it is not just one.
They are talking about a sanitary curfew

"It would be necessary to see how to deal with the issue of the Coast as well. One does not want the season to be canceled,
but some measures must be taken to reduce infections
, which are strong not only in Mar del Plata, but also the Party of the Coast "It is registering many cases.
It will be a key week to take definitions," he
explained in a dialogue with radio La Once Diez.
