COVID-19: NEW ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES EXCLUDED IN A LARGE PORTION OF THE PROVINCIAL TERRITORY

From Wednesday, the province will implement new exceptions after consultations with trade entities, entrepreneurs, municipalities and communes, with the exception of the two large clusters in Santa Fe and Rosario.

COVID-19: NEW ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES EXCLUDED IN A LARGE PORTION OF THE PROVINCIAL TERRITORY.

On Monday, the governor of the province, Omar Perotti, announced that the government of Santa Fe will start to enable other activities to those that have already been operating in the provincial territory, in the context of the Social, Preventive and Compulsory Distancing, after the Coronavirus pandemic in our country.

In this regard, Perotti stated, "We have seen the progress and efforts of the Santafesinos come true in controlling the peak with which we had begun. Thus, this Tuesday we will begin a direct link with all the Shopping Centers, Municipalities and Communes, to establish with them the implementation, from Wednesday, of activities that will restart in the territory of the province of Santa Fe". It should be noted, as the governor himself clarified, that they are exempt from these new measures, the conglomerates of Greater Santa Fe and Greater Rosario.

With regard to the activities that will be allowed to operate, the governor explained: "They are wholesale and retail activities; removals through freight and authorized companies; real estate activities; independent professions; the private constructions with up to 5 workers such as masons, ceramicists, carpenters, plumbers, and gas workers, but always up to 5 workers maximum; and also the service of hairdressing, manicure and podiatry."

Perotti also stated, "We will do so with the recommendations given by Minister Carlos Parola: the safekeeping of distance; constant handwashing; the use of alcohol and the control of each worker's temperature at their working sites."

In turn, the governor confirmed that the city of Rafaela has finished the phase of circulation of conglomerate, that is, the national authority has removed it from those cities with which there was a differential treatment and safekeeping; therefore it can then be added to the rest of the towns of the province.

On the other hand, the governor assured that once the health protocols were approved, the authorities would begin to analyze which activities could reopen. The instrumentation of these reopenings will be under the control of the municipalities and communes. He added: "The activities should be developed according to specific schedules. Banking, the public administration, and independent professionals will operate in the morning. Shops will open in the afternoon. The idea is that we do not bring many people together, that we can continue to have the possibility of not generating crowds and generating more activity".

The Minister of Health, Carlos Parola, warned, "In this breakthrough we can also suffer some setbacks and that means that cases reappear somewhere and we have to take more serious measures, which can range from focus control up to being much more severe with quarantine again. So, we must all take care of ourselves."

CLUSTER ACTIVITIES

Perotti requested before the national authorities to allow some activities to restart according to the good results in numbers that have been given in the province and particularly in the greater Rosario and in the greater Santa Fe. We have asked the Chief of Staff for the possibility that the tasks of minor private constructions, up to 5 workers, can also be carried out in the cities that make up the agglomerates in the province and also add there the activities of removal and real estate. All the activities that can be carried out in the rest of the province, will be submitted to the approval of Chief of Staff, who is still holding the control and giving authorization over the agglomerates of more than 500 thousand inhabitants".

PEOPLE'S CIRCULATION CONTROL

Perotti then called on the Santafesinos to "be very careful and protect the arrivals in each town, every city and in the province. We still have people coming back from abroad, in lesser numbers, but we are strictly monitoring them. We are going to strengthen the access controls of Chaco and each of the neighboring provinces and we have to be very careful with the movement towards the province of Buenos Aires, towards Capital Federal, to avoid that movement unless it is indispensable. And if it is indispensable to do so, to take all the precautions as it has been done here."

Finally, the governor of Santa Fe affirmed: "We begin a stage where we are further tested because we will meet more people on the street and the behavior of each one is crucial so that these kinds of activities can continue to be developed. We will all begin to go through a different stage, in which we fully trust in the behaviour of each citizen."

CONTAGION CURVE TREND

The Head of the Health Programs Department of the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases (INER) "Emilio Coni", Juan Carlos Bossio, provided details on the behaviour of the Coronavirus case curve in the province. "From the first case, the disease has spread and more cases have appeared. This showed an upward curve, with a rather significant increase in the case curve day by day, and reached a point that determined the necessity of social distancing that the national and provincial society have been strictly respecting."

"From that point on, it is important to note that cases have continued to occur, but the number of cases has progressively decreased, and today we are with 5 successive days in which the province had no cases," he added.

Finally, Bossio stated that this represented a containment of the problem thanks to the measures taken and the strict follow-up of the recommendations that were given for the entire population. He concluded, “This does not mean that we will not see cases from here on, sporadically cases can occur and that is why it is very important to strengthen all the recommendations that allowed us to stop the increase that we were seeing."
