In the midst of the second wave of coronavirus and with the vaccination campaign in progress throughout the country, the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo "Wado" De Pedro, said this Saturday that
he isolated himself for having been close contact
of a positive Covid -19.
From Pedro, he announced that he will be isolated until Thursday.
"In the last few days
I was in contact with a person who tested positive
for Covid. Therefore, following the health recommendations I will be isolated until Thursday. Let's continue taking care of ourselves," the official published on his
Twitter account
.
The Minister of the Interior was one of the national cabinet officials who, together with President Alberto Fernández,
traveled to Salta
to participate in the commemorative events for the bicentennial of the death of General Martín Miguel de Güemes.
In the last few days I was in contact with a person who tested positive for Covid.
Therefore, following the sanitary recommendations, I will be isolated until Thursday.
Let's keep taking care of ourselves.

After the acts, Elena Cornejo, wife of the governor of Salta, Gustavo Sáenz, tested positive for coronavirus, which is why
the provincial president was isolated
on Friday.
The
concern in the cabinet
is due to the fact that on Thursday there was a lunch at the Finca Las Costas residence in Salta, where, in addition to the provincial president and his wife, the President also attended;
the Chief of Cabinet, Santiago Cafiero;
the Ministers of Health, Carla Vizzotti;
of Security, Sabina Frederic;
the Secretary General of the Nation, Julio Vitobello, and the head of PAMI, Luana Volnovich.
It is not the first time that Governor Sáenz has been isolated due to being in close contact with a person with coronavirus.
A similar situation went through on June 9, after
one of his children tested positive
for Covid-19.
Days ago, the governor had administered the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
"Fulfilling the established requirements, today I was vaccinated against Covid-19," he posted on his official Twitter account, adding: "We continue with the Intensive Vaccination Plan to reach each and every one of the people of Salta."
