After the case of the man who returned to Córdoba from Peru, he did not isolate himself and generated the contagion of about 16 people with the Delta variant, from the National Government they came out to question the controls and claimed that
"the model of isolation in hotels must be followed." .
Florencia Carignano
, head of Migrations, recalled that they met with "the Ministers of Security, Health and Government of all the provinces, insisting that they have access to the Migration boards and know exactly online, at the moment, where the person who arrives is going."
In that sense, he stated that the hotel isolation model "costs more", but remarked that
"this was the model to follow
.
"
"The Province of Buenos Aires does it well," he stressed.
In this regard, he questioned whether the provinces differ from the control measure recommended by President Alberto Fernández, who "gave the possibility and then the provinces choose."
"Unfortunately, the province is harmed. We did all we could.
Individual responsibility failed and perhaps some stricter control of the State and jurisdiction would have been good,
" launched the head of the agency, in relation to the care measures adopted by Córdoba .
In dialogue with
FM Delta
, Carignano considered that "face-to-face control is important because this person had been called by phone and was supposedly serving quarantine
."
"Now, there are a lot of people infected. To what extent does that control work or not?
" He asked.

The official indicated that they are "very concerned with what is happening in Córdoba," where schools were closed and the health authorities are tracking more than 200 people, after isolating 160 contacts and registering 17 infected by the zero case that arrived from Lima .
"This person harmed his inner circle and the entire society because he will know how many more people have been infected and who were not from his circle.
It is uncontrollable
once you start to have contact with other people and you are infected," he warned.
In addition, he compared the case with a situation in Israel: "
This same thing that happened in Córdoba was the first outbreak that Israel had
of a married couple who arrived, did not quarantine, infected and generated an outbreak that they had not had since April."
After clarifying that "there is still no declaration of community circulation of the Delta variant," he emphasized that "these cases do not help at all."
Carignano called on travelers to insist on the importance of isolating themselves when arriving in the country.
The man had contact with non-living relatives during the period that he had to be in isolation.

"
We get tired of telling people not to trust themselves
, that it is not enough to come with a PCR nor is the antigen test done in Ezeiza enough because we have data. Our words are not whimsical, but that the Ministry of Health has statistics that say that more than 64 percent of the people who enter Argentina develop symptoms two or three days after having entered all with negative PCR and antigen, "he described.
"More than the PCR, what is crucial and the problem today is that people understand that it is essential to carry out the seven days of quarantine, which is what this person did not do. A single person put 160 people in isolation and only in Córdoba. Still today there are 10 percent of those who arrive that when we go to check, they are not at their homes, "he concluded.
Cordoba on alert
Track, detect, test and isolate.
That is the intense operation that the Cordoba Ministry of Health was carrying out early this Friday to prevent an increase in infections from the first carrier of the Delta variant in the province.
So far,
there are 17 infected and 160 isolated.
The local government had reported this Thursday that the carrier of the virus is a traveler from Lima (Peru) who had arrived at Jorge Newbery Airport with a negative test before the flight on July 19, 2021.
Two days later, the control, telephone follow-up was carried out and the test corresponding to the seventh day was scheduled.
On July 26, the discharge test was performed and the result was positive for the 62-year-old man.
After the epidemiological investigation, it was identified that the case had contact with non-living relatives during the period that it had to be isolated.
