Despite the fact that the Central Government approved a law with which they had to pass from the contract CAS Covid to regular CAS, Yesterday the medical workers, nurses, technicians who went to the Carrión and El Carmen hospitals, among other health centers where they work, were prevented from entering.
This generated the indignation of the health workers who went out to protest energetically, because despite being considered in the shifts of the day, they were not allowed to attend to the patients. “Yesterday we were heroes and now we have been fired, because of the Government, the Cas covid in the streets,” they shouted.
