Quarantines return on weekends for the Metropolitan Region.
This, because the health authority announced today that the entire Metropolitan Region will have to go back to phase 2, Transition, due to the increase in coronavirus cases in this area.
The Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, in the balance due to the pandemic, explained that the Metropolitan Region “has been increasing the number of cases caused by coronavirus. In today’s report it is detected an increase of 18% of newly diagnosed cases. Given the number of inhabitants of the RM, this figure is of a very high impact and we are very concerned “.
In fact, according to Minsal data, the Metropolitan Region has been registering more than 400 cases for three days.
The Undersecretary for Crime Prevention, Katherine Martorell, explained that the measure will take effect from Thursday 10 at 5:00.
Along these lines, Paris added that increases are observed in the Valparaíso and Biobío regions. In addition, he stated “that the second waves in Europe have been much larger than the first. If in the first wave the average age of sick patients was 54 years, in this second the average is only 39. It is evident that the greatest source of contagion is between 20 and 40 years. We see that it is the population that cares the least, but that it can carry the virus to the elderly ”.
Paris added that the measure adopted for MRI is “Preventive par excellence and we hope transitory, precisely aimed at avoiding much more extreme measures.”
But the MRI is not the only one that registers setbacks in the Step by Step plan.
Undersecretary Martorell announced that from Thursday 10 at 5:00, Arauco, in the Biobío Region; Los Sauces and Angol, in the La Araucanía Region, and Puerto Williams, in the Magallanes Region, are back in quarantine.
In addition, in the Region of La Araucanía, Reinaco falls back to Transition.
