It has been a source of confusion and on several occasions the government has had to go out – in recent days and again today in the afternoon – to make modifications and clarifications regarding the “Plan Anchor yourself at home”, which will allow some Chileans to meet with relatives during the celebrations of the September 18, 19 and 20 for the National Holidays.

In the midst of the acknowledgment of errors, communications by the government in this regard, and after the latest definitions, Below we clarify some of the main doubts regarding the plan:

Not. If you live in a confined commune, you will not be able to apply for the special permit. Although when the government communicated the plan -on September 2- it did include the quarantined areas, on Sunday the Executive backed down and excluded the confined communes. This, amid criticism from regional authorities.

Those who are in communes in the stage of Transition (that is, they have quarantine only on the weekend) and want to move to a commune that is also in Transition, or communes in stages of Preparation, Initial or Advanced Opening (all of them without confinement from Monday to Sunday), they must request permission and as noted, it cannot be requested for quarantined communes. To move between communes in Preparation, Initial or Advanced Opening, permission is not required. If you live in a commune that is in one of these three stages and you want to go to one in Transition, you will also require the pass.

This was one of the most controversial points, after the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, explained on Sunday on a television channel a measure different from the one the government had been exposing, and the spokesman minister, Jaime Bellolio, had to go out to clarify. This Monday afternoon, the government again announced modifications.

Finally the criteria will be this: Meetings of only five people, in addition to those who live inside the home, will be allowed in private spaces. It is understood by private space, as detailed by the government: “private residences, patios, common rooms.” Regarding open public spaces, it was reported this afternoon that the criteria changed again and remained like this: meetings of a maximum of ten people in total will be allowed “with distance between groups of 10 people.”

The pass, which the government has called “Permission for family reunion”, has a duration of six hours from the moment it is requested and can be obtained at Virtual Police Station or in physical police stations.

The government resolved modify curfew time during the National Holidays and this It will take effect at 9:00 p.m. In other words, at that time there will no longer be free movement through the streets of the country. The only exception is that there is a pass, which is not the same as a special permit, and which is aimed at those who perform essential services.

Who live in communes in Transition can request only one permit for the three days. That is, they will have to choose one of the three days to occupy it. That item it also underwent modifications that were announced today, since until yesterday Sunday it was contemplated that the communes in Transition could access three permits. If you live in a commune without confinement for the weekend and want to go to one in Transition, you will have only one permit to do so.

Not. Transfers between regions and therefore trips to secure homes are prohibited.

The inns and ramadas they are not authorized this year due to the pandemic.
