The Undersecretary of Health, Paula Daza, referred this Tuesday to the increase in the communes that will be in quarantine from this Thursday, due to the increase in infections and active cases of covid-19.

Daza indicated that the quarantines should generally last two weeks, but that to lift them, the evolution of the pandemic must be observed, especially the availability of critical beds, T13 reported.

“Generally a quarantine cannot last less than two weeks, but we have to look at how the pandemic is evolving, how the critical beds are doing, all the indicators, “said the undersecretary.

Along the same lines, Daza acknowledged that “quarantine is the hardest measure, to put a commune in quarantine we have to look at these health parameters that are beginning to increase significantly.”

Asked about the announcement that individual permits were going to be suspended on weekends, which was later rectified that it would only be for this weekend, Daza explained that it is framed within the March Plan.

“We announced it in February, that (March) was going to be a difficult month, a hard month, that we were going to put very strict measures that we hoped, after Easter, to be able to begin to reduce these strict measures,” he said.

In this way, the undersecretary reiterated that people should organize this week to make their purchases from Monday to Friday.

“People are going to be able to go out to buy from Monday to Friday, people who are in Transition. People who are in Quarantine can use their two permits from Monday to Friday to organize for this weekend, “he closed.
