Closed

squares

,

sports centers

with prohibited entry, all

shopping centers with the blinds down

.

It is not a bad memory of the past but rather the measures that in the next few hours will begin to take effect in the Municipality of Tigre: the first in the Conurbano to return to

strict quarantine

due to the

collapse of

hospital

beds

.

This was confirmed to

Clarín by

the Press Secretary, Ignacio Castro Cranwell, who participated in the meetings with experts that led Mayor Julio Zamora to take this measure.

"We are going to close all open-air squares and shopping centers, the Puerto de Frutos and municipal sports centers. It cannot be that the boys are not going to school but gather in the squares and without chinstraps. It is a measure that we evaluate from urgently and locally, because the health situation in Tigre is overwhelming, "said the official.

The Pacheco hospital, in Tigre, was the site of vaccination against COVID-19.

Today it has full occupancy of intensive therapy beds.

With a

total bed occupancy

, the Pacheco Provincial Hospital has

intensive therapy working at 100%

and an average of "300 infections a day" according to local sources. In addition, of the 5 HDI (Immediate Diagnosis Municipal Hospital) that they have in the party, three are exclusively intended for Covid patients.

"The Valentín Nores in downtown Tigre, the Mocoroa in Benavídez and Dr. Floreal Ferrara in Don Torcuato also have no place. The intensive therapy for Covid has an average stay of between 12 and 18 days, which is what severe pneumonia requires. Unlike a patient who had a heart attack and is perhaps only hospitalized for 48 hours. That is, there is no rotation of beds, so we need to take action now, "added Cranwell.

The measure, which has already become a decree signed by Zamora, will take effect this

Tuesday, April 27

at 00:00 and will be in effect for 15 days.


The Puerto de Frutos, emblematic Paseo de Tigre, will be closed again for 15 days.

The Parque de la Costa, the

Paseo Victorica

, any of the open-air shopping centers of

Nordelta, Remeros or El Puerto de Frutos

will not be open to the public

.

Neither the squares of the entire Party nor the sports centers.

In the last 7 days, the AMBA became a paper dam trying to contain a new

giant wave of the virus

that gushes out like water in all corners of the Metropolitan area.

The health system is collapsed, there are few beds available in the hospitals of the Buenos Aires suburbs and in addition to Tigre there are other critical districts in health region V.

In San Martín, spokesmen for the municipality assured that

100%

of the intensive therapy beds

are occupied

.

In the district governed by Fernando Moreira, they explained that the measures are being taken in conjunction with the Province and the Nation.

Firm.

The Tigrense communal chief, Julio Zamora, implemented the measure through a decree.

In Pilar

, ICU hospital beds

are at

85%

. In San Isidro they are also containing the collapse with a little more back. "The percentage of occupied hospital beds was

64%

until this morning,

while those of

intensive care exceeded 76%

, with 30 patients hospitalized until this Monday," reported from the secretariat coordinated by Juan Viaggio. Vicente López is also on the limit: they claim to have 50% of the beds occupied by patients with COVID and the other half with people who have other pathologies.

There are still no details on

how the controls will be applied so that the new measures are complied with, 

nor if there will be

fines

or support from the Province and Nation to install the extreme measures that in the Tigre Commune they decided to advance.

Yes, it was confirmed from the Commune: "The measures are in addition to those of a provincial nature that are already in force: restrictions during the early morning - from 20:00 to 06:00 - for activities that are not essential or productive; and the limitation of family and social gatherings for a maximum of 10 people ".

The Deliberative Council suspended the sessions

The president of the Honorable Deliberative Council (HCD) of Tigre, Segundo Cernadas, suspended the session of the legislative body that was scheduled for tomorrow Tuesday due to the positive cases of coronavirus registered among administrative workers.

In decree number 48/2021 dated April 22 and signed by Cernadas by which the session is postponed "for seven days", it is clarified that "100% of the administrative staff" of the HCD is affected by the coronavirus and that only "a single agent for service and service" remains in office.

Cernadas, who has just become a father for the third time to a girl, Jacinta, along with his wife Sofía Bravo, is already the father of 12-year-old Salvador, who lives with his mother (actress Gianella Neyra) in Peru, and Isabel, aged 1 years and 3 months, whom she had with her current partner.
