"I received the result of the PCR that I performed yesterday: it is negative. I have no symptoms and I feel fine. Following the protocol,
I will not be present at the opening of sessions of Congress,
" Cafiero said this afternoon in his account of Twitter
"To take care of ourselves and others, let us continue to respect prevention measures," he added.

Vizzotti discovered that he had covid after Cafiero ordered that all Cabinet officials
had to be tested to attend the inauguration of the Legislative Assembly on Monday
, along with Alberto Fernández.
The minister and the chief of staff
had been together
in the car that took them to Ezeiza to receive the first doses of the Chinese vaccine.
Also, Cafiero's spokesman and his driver, who traveled in the car, had to isolate themselves.
These contagions said from the Casa Rosada were the ones that triggered Alberto Fernández's request for the social movements that support the Government to suspend Monday's demonstration in Congress, within the framework of the President's speech.
Official sources explained that "we are convinced that the only thing mobilizing people does is multiplying infections, at a time when we are lowering the level and we do not want to encourage it to rise again."
This Saturday there will be a
"banner"
from the opposition in protest of the Vip vaccination scandal.
