During this Thursday, the COVID-19 investigative commission of the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies met, an instance where the president of the Medical College, Izkia Siches, attended. who referred to the plan “Fondéate en Casa” recently announced by the Government.
In this regard, Siches pointed out that “this was a plan that was not presented at the Social Table. We believe that this is a mistake because that also allows giving a space of feedback and telling the Government this does not seem so good, this does not seem so bad ”.
“Yes, I must admit that communicationally there was apparently quite a bit of misinterpretation. I do not know if the messenger was the wrong one or the media who did not understand well, but the quarantines were not finally releasedIt was only allowed with a higher degree of mobility permit ”, he said.
Along these lines, he added: “Obviously we are more conservative from the College and particularly in Magallanes, Bío Bío, the regions that are in stage 1, in our opinion they should be much more cautious, and hopefully make the call not to leave of his house ”.
“Indeed, celebrating national holidays at home, but it must also be recognized that they are very emblematic holidays and that what the authority intends is to try to lead the population so that they do not end up holding meetings of 50, 100 people, and to be able to delimit the actions that citizens take, which are going to meet anyway “, he assured.
The government’s position
Meanwhile, from the Executive the Government spokesman minister, Jaime Bellolio, dedicated this Thursday more than 20 minutes at a press point to clarify the content of the plan “go home.”
“To make it (…) very clear, The plan ‘go to your house’, for September 18, 19 and 20, does not lift quarantines in any commune in the countryWhat it does is create a special permit to be able to attend meetings inside homes with a maximum of 5 people who are additional to those who live in that house or 10 if it was in a place outside the house, “said Bellolio .
Asked specifically by the press that it was implied that the quarantines are suspended, the minister stressed that “quarantines are not suspended during the plan for national holidays on September 18, 19 and 20.”
“That is, in those communes that are in step 1, or in step 2 on the weekend, there is mobility restriction, that is maintained. For example, those who are in quarantine are kept, in which those premises that are not essential are going to be closed ”, he indicated.
In relation to the criticism, he mentioned: “We also act with a sense of reality, and that sense of reality implies taking a risk, but it is a limited risk, because we know that Chileans need to celebrate national holidays with their inner circle, with their family members, but they need to take care of themselves too ”.
“If we did nothing, as some experts seem to suggest, that would have meant that communities that were in step 3 or step 4 would have been able to hold events with 50, 100 people. We did not agree with it “he argued.
