The Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, he referred to the walk without a mask in which President Sebastián Piñera was surprised on the beach of Cachagua, and assured that despite the fact that the president apologized, it would be a good sign for him to report himself.
In the Zero Tolerance program of CNN Chile, the health minister stated that the president “evidently he did not comply with the norm, but he justifies himself and I find him right … I understand his justification“.
“The summary is made when there is an inspector or when there is someone who approaches the person who is without a mask (…) In this case there was no auditor, therefore the procedure would not be carried out (summary) “, added Paris
“I believe that if the President apologized, he explained the situation,” he said. I think it is quite positive to acknowledge the apology requested by the President“.
Paris also added that “as a health authority the important thing is to signal that the entire population – we have said so ad nauseam – is under the same rules of the game.
Faced with the question if it would be a good option for the President to denounce himself to face a health summary, the minister replied: “Obviously that from that point of view, to give a a sign that we must take care of the population especially thinking that a regrowth is comingClearly, for me it would be a good sign (to self-report). “
