The body of Mauro Viale, who died on Sunday at the age of 73, was transferred around noon this Monday from a dairy in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Villa Crespo
to the Jewish cemetery of La Tablada, where he was buried.
Due to the strict health protocols for the coronavirus pandemic,
only two of the vehicles were able to enter the cemetery
: the one that transported the journalist's remains and another in which his son, Jonathan, was.
The ceremony was intimate, with the participation of only a few family members.
His wife, Leonor, and his daughter, Ivana,
could not be part of the last goodbye because they must remain isolated
because they were close contacts of the deceased driver.

From the wake house the procession left for the La Tablada cemetery, in the district of La Matanza, in the southwest of Greater Buenos Aires.
The caravan of vehicles arrived at the scene at 12.50, received with applause from a dozen neighbors gathered at the door of the cemetery.
According to the authorities of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA), the journalist's body rests in a sector of the La Tablada cemetery, where
there is also
that
of the prosecutor Alberto Nisman.
The driver, whose real name was Mauricio Goldfarb, had been admitted to the Los Arcos sanatorium since Saturday after being diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia
after having contracted Covid-19.

Family and some close friends met at dawn at the AMIA wake house at 1100 Loyola Street, in Villa Crespo.
Until then, friends and colleagues from Viale came, such as the rapporteur
Paulo Vilouta
.
"I was with the family for five minutes to be able to give myself a hug with Joni, after what I saw and felt in there I came out worse. I saw them so beaten, Joni could not believe that her father was there inside the coffin. Friday had passed it bad and Sunday was better, "said Vilouta in dialogue with Guillermo Andino in America.
"Yesterday (Sunday) Mauro maintained contact with his family, Joni wrote to me crying because Enrique Macaya Márquez had sent a very emotional video to Mauro, who had seen him," he added.
And he delved into the causes of death: "
It has been ruled out that it has to do with the vaccine.
That has nothing to do with it. I hope we have as many as possible to be vaccinated. He was obsessed with the subject, I was glad when he was able to get vaccinated" .
Only two cars were able to enter the cemetery, due to the protocol by Covid.

"He was always wearing his chinstrap, I told him not to come to the canal so early, because on Sundays he came two hours earlier. He was obsessive about caring," he said.
Some of the media characters that Viale installed from his programs also remembered him from the screens of America and A24, where the journalist worked.
One of them was Jacobo Winograd.
Another, Guido Suller.
"I am shocked, Mauro was very important in my television life. I consider him a priest of journalism along with Chiche Gelblung. He was very good to me, I made him laugh and he made me laugh," recalled Suller in communication with Facundo Pastor and Mariana Contartesi at A24.
