Authorities from the province of Tamarugal, Tarapacá region, are working to open a sanitary residence in Huara, due to the complex migratory situation that the area is going through.
According to estimates by the Carabineros, about 400 people are spending the night outdoors in that town, after multiple illegal entries into the country were recorded.
“As a government we are fully addressing this situation from a humanitarian and health perspective,” said the governor of Tamarugal, Jussef Araya Leiva, in the face of the migratory contingency in Huara.
The authority pointed out that they work together with the municipality of the commune to have a place where those migrants can be received, so that while they are in the national territory -before managing their return in the cases that correspond- “they have the conditions necessary ”.
Added to this is an operation by the Seremi de Salud de Tarapacá, from where the massive taking of PCR tests to the migrants in Huara began.
“With the support of the Health Service and the health department of the Illustrious Municipality of Huara, the PCR test was applied to 371 people. This strategy seeks to strengthen the epidemiological investigation, through the identification, isolation of positive cases and their close contacts to establish an effective quarantine, ”they explained from the government department through a statement.
According to figures from the Seremi, around 1,700 migrants are in isolation, of these 1,400 are in transitory sanitary stays and about 300 in sanitary residences ”.
