In the same way that he did in July of last year, the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, announced on Tuesday a

"plan to gradually and progressively resume normality

.

"

There are six stages and, as explained from the City, "the progress and its timing will depend on the evolution of the health situation." They also clarified that "just as the data today allows us to talk about new openings,

it could

also

go back

if the situation indicates otherwise."

The arguments are that the average number of new cases per day continues to decline. "In the last 3 weeks, it fell from 1,000 to 700," explained the Head of Government, adding: "The R remains below 1, at 0.93. And the occupation of intensive care beds in the public sector it dropped from 44 to 33%. In addition,

80% of the population of the City over 18 years old

has already applied at least one dose. And the second doses are applied to the extent provided by the national government. "

This is the focus that can stop the plan the most, since the latent threat of the delta variant can increase daily infections, as has happened in other parts of the world, and

force to impose restrictions again. 

So far, both the City and the country seek to accelerate the application of second doses to achieve greater protection against the

new variants. 

The opening plan begins this Tuesday, with stage 1.
