The National Government is betting on a gradual reopening of what it calls the non-covid municipalities, that is, in which no cases of the disease have occurred.
The idea that the Casa de Nariño has is that these populations are resuming some of their productive activities, yes, keeping all the guarantees of biosecurity to avoid this contagion. And closing its borders.
According to official reports, in the national territory there are about 900 municipalities in which no cases of the virus have been detected.
According to the Minister of the Interior, Alicia Arango, the decision to gradually reopen productive activities in municipalities will be made at the request of the mayors.
“It is voluntary, if the mayor thinks so, if he thinks it is convenient and on his own initiative. We respect these proposals, keeping all the biosafety protocols, it would be the only way to gradually start energizing the economy of those sites, ”said the official in an interview with EL TIEMPO.
But he said that before starting the opening, they should send the proposal to the Ministry of the Interior, so that it is reviewed by the Ministries of Health and Commerce, “to see if we are all on the same path.”
And according to what eltiempo.com knew, As of Tuesday morning, nearly 60 mayors had already sent the request to the Interior Ministry to advance the gradual reopening.
About this theme, It was learned that the Government is analyzing the possibility of extending the quarantine in the rest of the populations for two more weeks.
Among the governors of departments, they did not forget that Gutiérrez, in Cundinamarca, who is ready for its gradual reopening tomorrow, stands out as they have already sent the letter asking for a “clue” to open. In this department, for example, we specifically talk about the Province of Rionegro
The governor of Cundinamarca said that he is waiting for the Interior Ministry I gave Gutiérrez the go-ahead to reactivate the vast majority of activities in the town.
“We have microregions that want to be activated, such as the case of La Palma, Yacopí, Caparrapì,” said the president.
Meanwhile, in Antioquia, Governor Aníbal Gaviria assured that more than 110 of its municipalities are free of covid, so he is ready to open it.
For him, There is no better social assistance program than gradual and safe economic recovery.
“Our idea, together with the mayors, is that in some municipalities, let’s say the farthest ones, (the opening) is general of all activities and in other municipalities that are larger and have more proximity to others with some danger of contagion , be a greater opening to the one that is occurring in other parts, ”said Gaviria.
“Only people from the same municipality, no one from other municipalities can enter, the only thing that must be allowed is the supply. The idea is that this be done gradually according to what the mayor considers. He should be the one who decides what to move, “said Minister Arango.
But in the government’s bid to try to reactivate the economy and save jobs, Federico Hoyos, current high adviser for Politics, is even expected to become adviser for the Regions, a position held by today’s ICT minister, Karen Abudinen.
The idea is for Hoyos to take the lead in coordinating everything that has to do with municipalities and non-coivd departments.
