This Monday during the Covid-19 balance in our country, the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, was consulted about the health summary carried out by the Seremi of Los Ríos against the Municipality of Lanco for a recital in Illapu.
It should be remembered that Illapu’s presentation in Lanco was this past Friday as part of the Lanco and Malalhue Festival. In the middle of the recital, the vocalist of the iconic national group, Roberto Márquez, indicated that the Los Ríos Health Seremi applied a fine to the municipality for not complying with sanitary protocols.
This measure was highly questioned by the music industry, who questioned the Ministry of Health (Minsal) for not measuring musical shows with the same yardstick with respect to other activities, such as soccer games.

The health authority denied the existence of a preference between activities – as Márquez pointed out – affirming that the presentation “one way of working was agreed upon and another was carried out.”
Although, Paris was clear in pointing out that “we are not against art, culture, music or concerts”, but the measures that are taken into account are different from football.
“In football matches, when you buy the ticket, the Mobility Pass is required immediately, otherwise you cannot buy the ticket, so there is a difference with respect to concerts,” he said.
“Here there is no discrimination against music, art, culture and there is no positive discrimination in favor of football either. Both shows are different and have to be governed by different rules that we are going to ask to be respected,” added the minister. .
Finally, the head of the Health portfolio said that he will meet with representatives of the music industry “to fine-tune a protocol and that activities can be carried out during the remainder of the summer, because I believe that music helps a lot. to mental health.”
