Gastronomy breathes as of this weekend: bars and restaurants will be able to open until 11pm. From Monday, in addition, the shopping malls will return.
And
face-to-face classes will be added for the entire high school
, although with a bimodal system.
These are
the announcements
made this Friday by the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, about how the restrictions continue in the City in the framework of the pandemic.
The measures represent a relief with respect to the previous situation.
The
limitation for circulation
, which until this Friday is from 20 to 6,
from this Saturday will be from 24 to 6.
Therefore, in line with the Province of Buenos Aires, activities will be restricted from 23.
This change will allow Buenos Aires bars and restaurants to extend their opening hours and recover their night shift.
A week ago the gastronomes put tables and chairs in Plaza Serrano to protest the restrictions.

Rodríguez Larreta assured that these flexibilities are possible because the downward trend in infections that had been noted for two weeks was consolidated:
"The average number of cases fell from 2,600 to 1,600
. That gives an R, or contagion rate, of 0 , 90 ", said the head of government.
But in the Buenos Aires government they look at another number with concern: the
occupation of intensive care beds
in the public system is 71%, according to Rodríguez Larreta emphasized.
The other positive factor that Rodríguez Larreta mentioned is the progress of the vaccination plan.
As he pointed out, the City received more than 1,400,000 vaccinations and 97% have already been applied.
"36% of the Buenos Aires population received at least one dose," he explained.
Next, what are the new measures that will govern in the City of Buenos Aires.
