"you do not have to settle for reaching respirators

.

"

He insisted on reducing infections and moving forward with the vaccination plan.

Crude, without euphemisms, Kicillof analyzed the reality of the province of Buenos Aires: "You do not have to settle for reaching respirators, because the problem is that those

who enter intensive care have a not so high probability of surviving

, unfortunately. topic is to stop the contagions ".

In an

interview with

Radio 10

, the official continued, "in the Province Many hospitalizations from the Capital received I am pleased that we were able to

receive people from Capital But if this was so, there

would be a total overflow...

in intensive care in Greater Buenos Aires, much more than we had in the first wave ".

A few days after the last presidential DNU expires (May 21), Kicillof

insisted on defending measures to reduce the movement

of people, including the closure of schools.

And he sent a message to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta: "I hope they come to their senses. It hurts all of us to close the presence. We have 100 municipalities where the presence continues, that is, where we can continue."

After repeating that

"it is essential to reduce infections"

, the former Minister of Economy highlighted the vaccination campaign: "There has not been a single day that we had to stop vaccination, that gives it the rate it has. We vaccinate all workers of health, those over 70. We also have 51% of education workers vaccinated and 30% of security workers. "

"We have had days of 100 thousand vaccinated in the province," he completed.

Regarding the round trip with Matías Almeyda, who tried to buy vaccines for the municipality of Azul, the governor said that he spoke with the former soccer player: "It is a very valuable gesture and he told me that what he did not want was to be used politically. I told him Rest assured, we are working with all suppliers ". 

At this point, the official stressed that they are analyzing "the contact that happened" Almeyda.

in the province of Buenos Aires 8,390 cases were reported this Saturday

, while in the capital of Argentina 2,292 positives were registered.
