Confusingly announced with great fanfare, the Government gave the go-ahead to the “Fondéate en casa” plan, which will allow people to gather in their homes to celebrate the presence of COVID-19 in Chile on the occasion of National Holidays . However, he did not leave everyone happy and today a group of mayors seeks to reverse the initiative.
The communal chiefs of La Serena, Ovalle, Coquimbo and Punta Arenas, areas that are in the quarantine phase, qualify the “Fondéate en tu casa” plan as a centralist measure that could increase the possibility of outbreaks.
The mayor of Punta Arenas, Claudio Radonich (RN), issued an official letter addressed to Minister Enrique Paris so that this measure is not applied in his city, given the increase in COVID-19 cases in recent days. “The efforts made by the community both at the family and work level in the context of quarantine, will be unsuccessful in the face of a measure such as the one provided, which will favor mobility, even more so when limited possibilities of inspection are foreseeable,” Radonich says in the letter consigned by Diario El Día
With the same tone, the mayors Roberto Jacob (La Serena), Marcelo Pereira (Coquimbo) and Claudio Renteria (Ovalle), all communes in the quarantine phase, organized to send their apprehensions to the head of the health portfolio. “We are in quarantine, and overnight they skip all the steps and give freedom for those 3 days with special permits for 6 hours to meet at homes. This is absurd, with total centralism. There is no communication. This letter tells the minister to reverse this measure, “Jacob said according to the written medium.
The group of mayors was joined by the mayor of Concepción, Álvaro Ortíz, who described the plan as a “truly criminal centralism” and a “free chip.” “Generating this measure, perhaps to give them help for three days, will mean that for many more weeks, these people will have to confine themselves and will not be able to open their businesses, because they will generate outbreaks, therefore, the option of the economic point of view and the political opinion that a minister like Jaime Bellolio may have cannot be above the opinion of the Minister of Health, “Mayor Ortíz added to CNN Chile.
