" Garcia stressed.
Speaking to
Radio 10
and
La Red
, the Buenos Aires official clarified that "the macro measures have to be agreed upon", and specified that the mayors "have full competence to close."
"I do not know what days are necessary to flatten this curve, which today has the shape of a wall. The growth is so vertical that it has the shape of a wall. It seems to me that objectively
a very strong decision must be made
," he stressed.
In this context, he acknowledged that the Buenos Aires government is "very concerned" about the health situation, and stressed: "We have
enormous concern

"We are in full growth, in a
very worrying second wave
. We have two strains that were not covered, we already have them circulating in the community," the official warned.
Regarding school attendance, Garcia stressed: "
The classes are as everything is, it is in the matter of conversation
. As long as the classes are not a place of infection of the boys, they will be carried out".
"To the extent that this is put into crisis and questioned, obviously it will also act on the issue of presence.
Today we are not the same as 10 days ago, where we all strictly defended all activities,
" he emphasized .
In addition, he reported that Governor Axel Kicillof "has already implemented some measures to assist micro economies," and clarified that new instruments could be studied in cases of greater closures.
Finally, the official reiterated that "public transport is one of the main sources of contagion," and added: "We must maintain transport for essential workers."
