The Argentine businessman lived in Uruguay during most of the Kirchner governments, but returned to Argentina when Mauricio Macri became president.
The former head of state claimed the Mercado Libre business model on more than one occasion and put it as an example of the entrepreneurial business that he aspired to empower in his mandate.
His definitive move to the neighboring country occurred in December 2019 almost in unison with the beginning of the Alberto Fernández administration, whom Galperin had visited three days after the PASO of 2019, when the then candidate of the Frente de Todos was already emerging as the next president of Argentina.
This Sunday, the Ministry of Public Health of Uruguay enabled the agenda for
170,000 people between the ages of 18 and 70 to
be vaccinated with Coronavac, the drug from the Chinese laboratory Sinovac Biotech against Covid-19, and as reported by
El Observador
,
in less than an hour
allotted
all of
the
available
places
that will be applied during Easter.
The Interior Medical Federation (FEMI) of Uruguay warned during the last hours about an "imminent" scenario that would put the country "at the highest level of transmission" of coronavirus, a fact that it attributed to the
"insufficient" restrictions
adopted by the Government since the population lowered its "perception of risk" and
then relaxes the care
.
This Sunday 16,308 analyzes were carried out and 1,625 new cases of coronavirus were detected.
Since the health emergency was declared a little over a year ago, 1,228,807 analyzes have been processed and 81,537 positive cases have been registered, of which 67,730 have already recovered, 792 have died and there are 13,015 people suffering from the disease.
