What should we do to prevent it?

 

Social, preventive and compulsory isolation for the entire population: With the aim of restricting the spread of the new coronavirus, the national government has arranged to restrict circulation both on national routes and within cities across the country. The measure, which will be in force until March 31 inclusive, will not affect essential production, supply, health services and all essential services. For the general population, transfers will only be allowed for exceptional reasons; the provision of food, medicine and hygiene and cleaning articles. The public transportation of passengers will be maintained only for the use of those who are exempt from complying with the isolation, the ATM system and the transfer of flows. The security forces will strictly enforce current regulations to protect the entire Argentine population.
