The number of cases is less than half compared to eight weeks ago “, explained Fernández to justify the end of the” eternal quarantine “starting Monday, after 233 days of isolation (from March 20), in what is considered quarantine. longest in the world.
However, the President clarified that “the problem has not been overcome” and that the end of isolation in the most important region of the country, which involves the Argentine capital and ten other neighboring municipalities, for a total of 16 million people, does not mean that all restrictions have ended.
“This new phase essentially authorizes people to circulate without authorization, but public transport will remain exclusive to essential activities. Furthermore, a number of activities will remain limited ”, the President clarified, indicating that the measures will be valid until November 29, when they will be re-evaluated.
Activities involving agglomerations such as theater, cinema and shows in enclosed spaces will remain prohibited. Bars and restaurants can open parts with natural ventilation and internal occupancy cannot exceed 25% of the maximum capacity.

“This best time in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area is not for the whole country. In the departments of ten provinces, isolation continues. They are provinces where infections are stable or increasing. We try to limit circulation as much as possible, ”the head of state warned.
This morning, Alberto Fernández had a long telephone conversation with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. The core of the conversation was an agreement for millions of Russian vaccines to arrive in Argentina starting in December, when the country plans to start mass vaccination.
“We are working to approve the vaccine if it is able to be approved. We will devote all our efforts to prepare the vaccination process starting from the end of December “, announced Alberto Fernández in what he classified as” the epic of ending the virus through the vaccine “.
According to the president, Argentina managed to deliver 10 million vaccines (20 million doses in two stages). And in the face of strong doubts about the quality of the Russian vaccine, Alberto Fernández replied that “no one can doubt the technical quality of those who produce it”.
“The vaccines have in all cases a very high level of technical-scientific quality”, guaranteed the Argentine president.
