Regarding the health measures put in place in Cordoba in the face of the Delta variant epidemic, Vizzotti said that “we must value” everything that the government has “been able to delay” the entry of this strain of the coronavirus into the country and He insisted on the importance of “understanding the measures of care” even if “no one likes them”.

“No one likes restrictions but it seems there are people who forget there is a pandemic, and to believe that nothing is going to happen to us in this context, is almost naive, ”said the minister, of the 17 people confirmed positive for the coronavirus in the province of Cordoba infected with the Delta variant, which led to the isolation of about 250 to be close contacts.

Meanwhile, in the city of Buenos Aires, its authorities have reported two cases with the Delta variant, which, unlike others confirmed in the provinces of Cordoba and Salta, have no known epidemiological link to travelers.

As Vizzotti explained, “There are more than 100 countries which have a predominance of this variable” while the detections that have been made in the country “have to do with travel”. “We have in no way a predominant circulation” of this variable, he added and pronounced himself to “continue to delay this by strengthening the care not only in Cordoba, Salta and the city of Buenos Aires, but everywhere “.

At this point, the official has asked to maintain “care” as progress continues “in the vaccination campaign and the schedules are met.” “We are with checks in Ezeiza”He recalled, but also analyzed that since Argentina is “such a big country, a coordinated work with the different provinces and municipalities is important”.

“We have to be realistic it is impossible for the national state to control if there is no support in each provinceWe have to work this together and also with society, ”he concluded.
