The Ministry of Health of the Nation reported this Tuesday, March 22, 2022 that, in the last 24 hours, 77 deaths from coronavirus and 4,690 new infections were recorded. With these figures, the total number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic rose to 9,016,057, while deaths total 127,675.
In the midst of the sustained drop in infections, this morning, a deputy from Juntos por Jujuy-Frente de Todos presented in the provincial legislature a bill aimed at eliminating the use of the mask in open spaces of the district, a coronavirus prevention measure that remains mandatory unlike what happens in large part of the country, where restrictions were loosened as the vaccination campaign progressed and positive cases were decreasing.
The legislator Juan Cardozo, author of the initiative, argued that “two years ago the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, which brought many restrictions to daily life” and that “currently, with medical advances, healthy hygiene habits and a large percentage of vaccination, the various vaccinations have been made more flexible timely restrictions imposed”. He also recalled that “in different jurisdictions of our country, measures against the coronavirus were relaxed, leaving aside the mandatory use of a mask outdoors, due to the notable decrease in positive cases”.
In fact, in some districts they have already decided that the use of masks should be optional in schools, as is the case in the city of Buenos Aires and Mendoza, although the Federal Health Council (COFESA) recommended maintaining the use of the mask indoors to prevent respiratory diseases. However, the legislator maintained that although his bill seeks to eliminate the requirement of wearing masks and the fines and violations that were foreseen in that context, this “does not prevent voluntary use for those who consider it or who must do so by medical prescription.”
In tune, the Province of Córdoba resolved to eliminate the Emergency Operations Centers (COE), both the central one in the capital and the 26 regional ones, which operated since the first months of the coronavirus pandemic to provide sectorized care.
According to Télam, the first COE was created on March 30, 2020, to “specify the planning, organization, coordination and control of actions related to adverse events related to the pandemic caused by COVID-19.” Then, with the progression of the pandemic, the province expanded the centers to the main towns.
However, in today's Official Gazette, the provincial executive announced: “The functions of the Emergency Operations Centre (C.O.E.) should be terminated and, consequently, Ministerial Resolutions Nos. 311/2020, 382/2080 and 18/2021 shall be terminated as of the date of this Legal Instrument; by virtue of Recitals given this Resolution”.
COE records should now be sent to the Ministry of Health Prevention and Promotion. In the rationale of the resolution, it is argued that “because of the current epidemiological situation and careful that most of the Services in this Health Portfolio have resumed their normal and usual functioning scheme; it is necessary to terminate their actions and take up the leadership of the various responsible parties, the management of the establishments public, private welfare, social security institutions and agencies, as well as penitentiary establishments and prison complexes”.
