However, you can get to Chile, from abroad, through the Arturo Merino Benítez Airport. You can also travel abroad from Chile with the same method.
Due to this contradiction, many questioned the Ministry of Health, especially since people travel at this time to other regions of the country due to Christmas and the New Year. Due to this, the Undersecretary of Public Health, Paula Daza explained the measure in question during the balance of this Thursday.
“The borders are closed, they are absolutely closed. The only thing that is open is the Arturo Merino Benítez airport. In order to reach Chile, people arriving from abroad, people have to have a series of sanitary conditions,” he explained.
“In addition, yesterday at the airport it was established that PCR is being randomly taken. We are looking at measures to strengthen them from the epidemiological point of view,” he explained.
“There are many social, family and meeting situations that are binational. People who have to come to work, people who need to get to Chile for different reasons. We have to balance the needs of people with epidemiological measures,” he concluded.
