This Saturday at 05:00 hours, as in other parts of the country, the Valparaíso Region terminated the operation of the sanitary cordons for this long weekend, and the sanitary measures are already being prepared to receive the vacationers, given the “vacation permit” that goes into operation on Monday.
In this area there were two controls installed, one at the regional level and the other in Greater Valparaíso, which during these days more than 300 thousand vehicles were inspected, according to the authorities.
He seremi of Health, Francisco Álvarez, reported that the main causes for returning people to the sanitary cordons – especially from Santiago – were the falsification of permits or not having the necessary document.
“This week we have controlled more than 300 thousand people and we have returned more than 20 thousand vehicles, which is equivalent to a little more than 43 thousand people, and we have completed more than 400 health summaries “, detailed the authority.
In addition, he regretted that “people were found who tried to evade health controls and some even forged their permits to try to enter our region. The days this week that we returned the most vehicles were between Tuesday and Wednesday, where we returned more than 12 thousand vehicles to the Metropolitan Region. “
“We have even seen that in the last two days, mobility within our region fell by more than 70 percent,” Álvarez said.
In the same line, Carolina Corti, provincial governor of Marga Marga, indicated that in this sector 17,800 cars were controlled of the 2,700 they were returned for not meeting the requirements.
“There were four detainees and two medical summaries were conducted. I remind you that since Viña del Mar is in transition phase two, this Saturday and Sunday the quarantine control will be operating in the Canal Chacao sector and also at the entrance of the southern trunk in Viña del Mar “, announced the provincial authority.
Preparations for the summer
After the end of the year holidays, the authorities began to prepare the sanitary measures to welcome vacationers who arrive during these summer months, considering that the Viña del Mar commune is considered by the authorities as one of the main destinations for those who travel during this summer period.
Regarding this situation, the governor of Valparaíso, Gonzalo Le Dantec, detailed that “what the health personnel and our authorities are going to do is precisely control that those who come to these areas have a vacation permit, that it is a unique permission and that also establishes that this is where they can come and not any other “.
“It is a single permit for a single place and what is sought is to avoid mobility and we are going to control very strongly that the conditions of that permit that today has been enabled for this summer are effectively met,” said Le Dantec.
This measure, however, is subject to possible changes in the Step by Step plan in the next few days, due to the increase in Covid-19 infections that have been registered in recent days.
