In turn, the Deputy Minister of Public Health, Gustavo Rosell, indicated that “it is not about putting more restrictions, but about each one taking responsibility for their health and their family.”
“Surely tomorrow the Council of Ministers will discuss some additional measures to avoid the spread of COVID-19 ″, added.
Cevallos ruled out that the imposition of a national quarantine will be considered since it would not have worked as a containment measure for the coronavirus.
“Quarantines raised like those we had at the beginning of the first wave, we do not consider it. It may be a quarantine focused on a certain place, with a special situation, but the national quarantine as proposed does not seem convenient to us, it did not give results because we are also a country with 70% informality”, He specified.
