Luis Cámera

, a clinical doctor who is part of the committee of experts that advises President Alberto Fernández on the management of the coronavirus pandemic, asked this Tuesday to "repress the demonstrations for a month", but without violence.

"Large demonstrations must be stopped, they must be deterred, eventually

repressed as is done in any part of the world,

" requested the presidential adviser.

In this sense, he said that citizens must be asked that

"for a month they cannot be done"

because "they are all contagious", and clarified that this "repression" must be done without violence.

"I say repress because you have to say 'you cannot do this',

not repress hitting people, which is something else," he

said about the crowds.

In dialogue with

CNN radio

, Cámera acknowledged that "it is difficult to control people's attitudes and inappropriate behavior is generated."

He explained that "if there are still demonstrations and society loses its conduct, we would remain on a high plateau."

In addition, he warned that "this can be serious" and insisted on raising awareness.

"We have an opportunity that this wave will go away in May, but we would not achieve it if people do not comply," he stressed.

On the other hand, he warned that "you have to be concerned" because - he glimpsed - "are coming

the worst three weeks

of the entire pandemic and a

lot

of

hospitalization

, not in cases, which gives me the feeling that it has reached its peak and is going to get down a bit. "

However, he pointed out that he "disagrees" with the Minister of Health of the Province, Daniel Gollan, for "the drastic measures" that he wants to apply, as well as with Fernán Quirós, head of the City's health portfolio, who "wants to continue with face-to-face schooling ".

"

We are not for a severe restriction

because the social climate is very complicated. It creates an opposite effect. I have a real fear because there is a lot of fatigue," he said in this regard.

Camera projected that during the winter there will be no "complications" with the Covid.

"

I do not think that July is bothering

. We should be calm on that date," he concluded.

In a key week in which Alberto Fernández must define whether to toughen the restrictions, and while maintaining the dispute with the City over face-to-face classes and the lack of controls to ensure compliance with the measures, the Government

does not find a solution to the growing social demands

and in recent days marches and cuts have multiplied in the Federal Capital that increase the health risk about which the President and his ministers warn.

This Tuesday, for the second day in a row, the City woke up besieged by demonstrations.

Left-wing sectors and social organizations gathered in the vicinity of the Obelisk, the Ministry of Social Development and other key points, to go to the headquarters of the Ministry of Labor, where the Salary Council will be held.

There they will make a day of popular pots, in demand of food and jobs.

In announcing the latest restrictions on April 16, the President had been defiant.

"Not the rebellion to me," he issued a clear warning to sectors that threatened not to comply with the measures, such as gastronomic entrepreneurs.

The request of the experts

This Monday, the experts asked the Government to deepen the controls and evaluate the next 72 hours.

As a fortnight ago, the Chief of Staff Santiago Cafiero, the Minister of Health Carla Vizzotti and the main ministers again listened to the experts.

"They asked for 72 hours to evaluate the data and there is a lot of concern so

that no measure is relaxed

," said official sources after the meeting, lasting an hour and a half, which also included ministers Eduardo "Wado" from Pedro, Agustín Rossi and Sabina Frederic.

Unlike two weeks ago, the experts abounded, according to the sources, in a fact that began to worry in the last hours in parallel to the occupation of beds: the possibility, not too distant, that

oxygen

begins to

lack.
