Although formally the national quarantine expires next Monday and the parties arrive with an agenda of different needs, the meeting that President Alberto Fernández, the Buenos Aires Governor, Axel Kicillof, and the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, will maintain this Noon in the Quinta de Olivos promises definitions in the Metropolitan Area , the region where 90 percent of infections are concentrated. The discussion no longer revolves around whether or not the isolation is tightened, but when it becomes effective .
There is also no debate regarding the importance of taking AMBA as a single district. After the jump in the number of daily cases that occurred last week, Larreta and Kicillof agreed on a scheme and methodology for working together in the area, which relaxed the otherwise rarefied climate that remained between the two administrations.
Helped. Also, that at the Friday summit in the governorate, the mayor of Buenos Aires admitted - first in private and then publicly - his "concern" and agreed on the need to closely follow the evolution of cases.
Larreta had arrived in La Plata with the novelty of a new record of cases also in the City. And in that context, in the press conference that he found with Kicillof, he assured that he was not going to "shake his pulse" to impose restrictions if the infections continued to rise.
Beyond the fact that they announced the increase in controls, that meeting served the head of the Buenos Aires government in his strategy of buying time without tightening the quarantine. The Province, meanwhile, used this scenario to give an institutional and balanced scope to its intention that the City accompany its intention to return to phase 1.
Strictly speaking, emotionally, after more than three months of isolation, in none of the three jurisdictions do they see it possible to achieve a level of compliance like that of the first days after March 20, but the allusion to Phase 1 has to do with a way of summarizing the need to restrict various activities that were relaxed.
But over the weekend, differences in intent remained. Fernán Quirós, Buenos Aires Minister of Health; He explained that there is still room for the City to make decisions . "We have not had any significant changes, but we are concerned about the numbers," he said.
Instead, in an interview with Clarín, the vice minister of Health of the province of Buenos Aires, Nicolás Kreplak, stated that if the trend continues, the health system will collapse and considered that "everything is given to return to phase 1 now . "
The Secretary for Access to Health, Carla Vizzotti; She explained a position that is closer to Kicillof from the health diagnosis, but with coincidences with what they proclaim in the City about the importance of analyzing it coldly: “The challenge is not to say that you have to go back to phase one or increase You do not have to do it too early so that it is not precocious , nor too late so that if it is triggered it is more difficult to control, "he explained to Page 12.
Although over the weekend there were fewer new cases, but from the Nation and Province they point out that it is because Saturdays and Sundays less tests are carried out.
In this context, Fernández himself was responsible for feeding the expectation of what will happen this afternoon in Olivos. "The three of us met on Monday to make a decision. We are in a very complicated situation, ”he anticipated.
