This Monday the Bío Bío Health Ministry confirmed an outbreak of covid-19 in the Homecenter Sodimac in Hualpén.

The authority reported that since December 14, various audits have been carried out, registering eight positive cases on that date. On that occasion, a sanitary summary was started to the enterprise.

This Monday 21, Seremi reported 30 accumulated cases, determining the operation prohibition and initiating a new search process for those company workers who have not been part of previous active searches.

According to the seremi Héctor Muñoz, “the operation ban it is up to compliance with the sanitary measure ”.

Change in capacity

In an interview with Radio Bío Bío, the portfolio seremi, emphasized the importance of self-care, given the high numbers of new infections that the region has registered.

Added to the above is the action of the population, who during the day this Monday went en masse to various shopping centers in Greater Concepción. Reason why the Seremi de Salud decided to temporarily close the venues from the Plaza Trébol Mall and the Centro de Concepción Mall, to prevent more people from entering the premises.

“We are planning to reduce the capacity for tomorrow,” the authority reported and detailed that this would include parking lots from the shopping centers. He emphasized that “if we agglomerate in this way, we will pay the consequences with an increase in cases in the first weeks of January.”

He called not to overdo it, since “there is good news about vaccines, but we have time to face this disease, that is not controlled“.

He commented that the inspection team will continue to mobilize in the center of Concepción, and that in addition, the fines would increase along with the measures that will be more drastic if the territory so requires.
