Gollán bets on tougher measures for fifteen days
A group of advisers to the Argentine President assessed the coronavirus situation Monday, after which further restrictive measures to be announced shortly appear inevitable.
The last time Cabinet Chief Santiago Cafiero and Health Minister, Carla Vizzotti, held a work meeting at the Casa Rosada with various infectious disease experts that is exactly what happened. It would be unreasonable to believe the same group of experts would have different solutions. It shall be up to the President to decide whether to follow their advice and to which extent.
The presidential emergency decree (DNU) which imposed the latest restrictions onto the Buenos Aires Metropolitan (AMBA) area expires on April 30. However, those restrictions included the suspension of on-site schooling to which the City of Buenos Aires (CABA) turned a blind eye and went on as per its own plans in a case for which the Federal Supreme Court has claimed original jurisdiction and should be making a ruling in the next few days.
