The Minister of Health of the Nation, Carla Vizzotti;
and the head of the Tourism and Sports portfolio, Matías Lammens, gave a press conference at the Government House in which they confirmed that there will be an audience in the next match of the National Team,
72 hours before PASO
.
Lammens confirmed that the "pilot test" will be on September 9, at the Monumental stadium.
That day, the team led by Lionel Scaloni will face Bolivia for the Qualifiers towards the World Cup in Qatar.
It will be with a capacity of 30%
.
"The idea is that the return is gradual. That this experience is a pilot test and that by the
end of September we will already be with the public in the stadiums
, surely under the same conditions as this pilot test," said the minister.
Lammens further clarified that the return of the public will apply to other events as well.
"It is a first step for the public to return not only to football, but to
all mass shows
. We believe that it is an event that deserves this exceptionality in terms of what it means and allows us to make an evaluation of how the protocols, "he explained.
Regarding the possibility of asking for a requirement to enter the stadiums, the minister said: "
In a few days we will be able to give details of the requirements for them to enter
, but we can anticipate that the capacity will be 30%. The rest will be subject to the details that remain. "
When asked about the risk implied by the announced measure and the possibility of allowing audiences to attend mass shows, Vizzotti stated: "We have been working with great responsibility, monitoring the epidemiological situation and of course we will continue to monitor first to minimize the risks and implement the shows in very carefully and evaluate the possibility of increasing the capacity. It
does not seem reckless to me
otherwise we would not make the decision. "
Lammens himself had confirmed last Friday that "at the end of September there will be public in the soccer stadiums" and had said that the details will be adjusted in a meeting with authorities from the AFA and the Professional League (LPF).
"It is close. Not only in soccer but in all other sports, mass shows and recitals," replied the official when asked about the possibility of seeing fans again on Argentine soccer fields.
"The idea is to
start with a capacity of 30%
and gradually increase as the health situation continues to improve," he explained.
And he added that this decision will depend on the vaccination plan: "Having more than 80 percent of those over 18 years vaccinated with one dose and the good rhythm that August takes with second doses, allows us to think by the end of the month that It comes to have an audience in the stadiums. "
