As Clarín announced this Thursday morning, the City of Buenos Aires is working on a
main measure
to limit the movement of people: given the rise in coronavirus cases in the district - it went from an average of 300 to about 1,400 / 1,500 In recent days, the head of government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, would propose that
bars and restaurants should close at 12 at night
, instead of at 3 in the morning, as most of these places can do now.
"We are
waiting for the DNU of the Government
. But the general idea is that. Limit the hours of bars and restaurants," said this Friday just after 20 a high source of the Buenos Aires administration.
Thus, the idea of the City of not limiting night-time traffic is maintained, as the Alberto Fernández decree would suggest.
The idea of the President, discussed days ago with the governors of the whole country, was that
between 23 and 6 AM only essential workers can circulate
and a few excepted more.
Could the Buenos Aires government also close or control the public walks where young people usually gather at night?
"It is a possibility, we are going to wait for the DNU," responded a City official to
Clarín's
query
.
It is expected that in the next few hours this measure will be made official and, according to Casa Rosada sources told this newspaper, there
could also be a press conference with
the Chief of Staff, Santiago Cafiero, and the Minister of Health, Ginés González García.
In addition to the City, this Thursday two other provinces were known that announced that they will not make a total sanitary curfew at night.
They were Córdoba, governed by the Peronist Juan Schiaretti.
And Mendoza, managed by the radical Rodolfo Suarez.
Beyond the fact that the numbers of infections there are also high, social pressure could have influenced: like CABA, these are two other districts with strong anti-K sentiment and where there have already been demonstrations against the quarantine.
