With that, all the Great Conception was confined, provision with which about a million people already live under the strictest sanitary measure in the middle of the pandemic.

Despite the fact that the measure entered into force together with the curfew, Radio Bío Bío was able to verify that at that time, in the last three communes, vehicular traffic could still be observed.

The above could be a effect of severe clogging that were recorded throughout the day on the eve of the mega quarantine, either due to paperwork and the need to stock up on food and basic supplies.

Currently, the region of Magellan is the most affected area by the advancement of the disease.

However, Bío Bío follows in second place, with figures that do not fall below the two thousand active cases due to the new coronavirus.

At the close of this edition, a press point from the governor is still expected, who will deliver official data and recall the main points of the initiative issued by the Government.
