At 6:00 p.m. this Friday, the sanitary cordons arranged these National Holidays came into effect on the roads of the Metropolitan regions, Valparaíso, Gran Concepción, Temuco and Padre Las Casas, and will be operational until Sunday at 23.00 hours. As was foreseeable, this implied natural delays in the established controls and traffic jams, especially on Route 68 near Lo Vásquez and on Route 5 at the Angostura checkpoint.
The measure implies that, in addition to essential activities, said sanitary cords can only be crossed with an individual pass provided by the Carabineros, either for moving, permission to attend a funeral or medical treatment, and in all these cases you must accompany the health passport, which is downloaded from the website of the Ministry of Health.
In the first half hour of the sanitary cordon, just over 3,000 vehicles had left Santiago for the Valparaíso region.
The metropolitan mayor, Felipe Guevara, estimated at 200 thousand the number of vehicles that will leave the capital this weekend, when there are already more than 11 thousand cars that have had to be returned.
“One hundred percent of the vehicles will be controlled. When leaving the Metropolitan Region, in Curacaví, the vehicles will be controlled, and after the tunnel, in the commune of Casablanca, they will be inspected again, so that this double control we hope will serve to restrict mobility ” Guevara pointed out.
The metropolitan authority specified that it is expected “that about 200 thousand vehicles will leave, 50% of them heading south, in addition to about 25 thousand cars towards Valparaíso.”
At the regional level there are 11 sanitary cordons and Carabineros will be deployed throughout the region, mainly in quarantined cities, such as Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. The head of the V Zone of Carabineros de Valparaíso, Hugo Zenteno, made “A call to the community to respect sanitary standards, to stay at home with their families, as there is still great mobility in some sectors. Valparaíso and Viña are in quarantine, therefore, there is no type of permit for National Holidays “, he stressed.
