The Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, denied on Monday that the entry of a cruise ship from Cape Verde had been admitted by mistake and stated that, on the contrary, “the ship gave notice of a positive case”, an operation was scheduled in which “more than 300 PCRs were carried out in 24 hours” that in all the cases they were negative, including the one in the case, which “continues to be isolated along with its close contacts.”
“The information released about the cruise ship ‘Hamburg’ is false. The ship gave notice of a positive case, an operation was scheduled and more than 300 PCRs were carried out in 24 hours. All were negative including the case, who continues to be isolated along with their close contacts, “the official said this afternoon in a series of messages posted on the social network Twitter.

There, he regretted that from the news portal where the information was disseminated no one would have consulted the Ministry of Health to prevent the dissemination of “incorrect information.”
“No one consulted us before the publication of the note, which would have prevented incorrect information from being disseminated. We are not going to tire of recommending that they check with official and reliable sources, and in this way provide calm in this very particular situation”, Vizzotti asserted.

Earlier, in statements to the C5N cable signal, the National Director of Authorization, Inspection and Border Health, Claudia Madies, had confirmed the presence of a positive case of coronavirus on the cruise ship from Cape Verde, a vessel that, according to the national health authorities they came “following from the high seas” because they had “the report of that case” and it was “being monitored”.
The official denied journalistic versions that indicated that the ship entered the metropolitan port by mistake on Friday.
“There was no confusion, we did not enter into discussion, that version is not correct,” said Madies, adding that the cruise “anticipated its arrival in Buenos Aires, which was scheduled for the following day.”
