BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) – The authorities of the Argentine capital closed a bar after consumers were noticed drinking beer on the sidewalk in violation of pandemic closure measures. Some retail establishments in Buenos Aires ignored the ban on remaining closed, saying online sales were insufficient.
Tired of 40 months, an Olympic rower broke the rules and trained in a river. He wept with joy and a feeling of liberation once back to the water.
People are at the forefront of generation in Argentina, where the number of new cases of coronavirus is expanding despite nearly five months of strict restrictions and activities in the Buenos Aires region, where approximately two-thirds of the country’s population lives. . Argentina suffered financially long before the pandemic; isolation measures irritated the pain.
The fitness crisis is political, as the government attributes the increase to violations of confinement and the opposition says basic freedoms are at risk.
As the rival fields argue, the virus is spreading.
With more than 260,000 cases of coronavirus showed, Argentina is among the 10 most sensitive countries contributing the maximum new cases to the overall count since July 22, according to Johns Hopkins’s knowledge via Monday. The Latin American country of forty-five million more people reported about 5,000 coVID-19 deaths, a relatively small number compared to other countries with height infection rates.
Latin American countries are the highest number of cases shown and coronavirus deaths in the world, and the pandemic continues to sweep the region.
“We are seeing alarming increases in sales options that had been controlled in the past to involve epidemics, such as those in Colombia and Argentina,” Carissa Etienne, director of the Pan American Health Organization, said Tuesday.
Another senior official, Sylvain Aldighieri, said that while peak cases had been reported in Argentina in the province of Buenos Aires, the coronavirus gave the impression that it was spreading to less populated spaces in recent weeks. For example, there was an epidemic in Argentina’s remote province of Jujuy, on the border with Chile and Bolivia, after the blockade eased.
Argentine President Alberto Fernandez said Tuesday that the country is going through the “worst moment” of the pandemic and attributed the expansion of the coronavirus to others who ignored the isolation measures.
“The freedom of others is not questioned, but the first condition for being loose is to be alive,” Fernandez said in an interview with Futurock radio.
Last week, the government decreed that others simply cannot hold social gatherings in their homes. The measure, in force until at least 16 August, sparked a debate over whether civil liberties were threatened. In theory, offenders can face up to two years in prison, there is a hypothesis that the government is only looking to alarm others to obey because the measure is incredibly difficult to enforce.
Despite the repression, almost daily there are reports of young people organizing parties, barbecues or football matches. A study published this month through the Department of Psychology at the University of Buenos Aires observed an increase in the number of other people who consume alcohol and stress medications during the pandemic, and a drastic decrease in healthy activities such as exercise.
With national, celestial and white colours, Olympic rower Ariel Suarez trained this week on the Luzhn River in Tigre, north of Buenos Aires, for the first time in months. Suarez, who said it was absurd for Argentina to allow some athletes, adding footballers, to prepare to return to education when education is banned, has not yet been the subject of any punitive measures.
Dr. Gustavo Lopardo, an infectious disease expert and panel member who advised Fernandez on the reaction to the pandemic, said the Argentine fitness formula had taken many appropriate measures. Hospital beds are available and medical staff have more experience and after months of fighting the coronavirus, he said.
Lopardo acknowledged, however, that it is difficult to get the entire population to settle for a strict blockade.
“We Argentinians like to come in combination to eat and drink,” he said.
