The plan “Fondéate en tu Casa”, applied by the Government during National Holidays, “had a positive effect on the Metropolitan Region and other regions,” evaluated this Saturday the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, after being consulted in today’s daily balance, two weeks after the holiday.
In this framework, according to epidemiological report of the Department of Statistics and Health Information, of the Minsal, reported that, at least according to the figures until Thursday, October 1, 10 regions saw significant declines in the number of active coronavirus cases.
