Things can get worse, Doctor Radi warned.
The Government of Uruguay Thursday decided to extend the current measures regarding restrictions to the circulation of people for yet another week in a move to curb the unstoppable number of covid-19 cases.
These restrictions have been in place since March 23 and have been extended every week or two, depending on the health situation.
With 36,121 active cases of covid-19, the government decided to extend for yet another week the measures which were due to expire next Sunday, May 30.
The restrictions include the suspension of all public shows, social gatherings regardless of whether they are public or private, including food courts at shopping malls as well as the closure of public offices both national and departmental (provincial) where clerks would have to work online from their homes. Casinos too are banned from opening.
