The opening goes further
Any opening on March 22 that the government has set as its first target is also considered difficult.
Although the government intended to make a first opening with retail on March 22, the latest data make this discussion prohibitive for the moment, as government spokesperson Aristóteles Peloni highlighted yesterday.

With the current situation prevailing in hospitals, infectious disease specialists emphasize that things are very difficult and that is why now it is very likely that they will suggest a new extension of the confinement until the end of the month.
