Minsa will toughen measures for Covid-19 positive people caught on the streets
The Minister of Health, Luis Francisco Sucre, announced on Wednesday, August 5, that they will toughen the sanctions for people who are positive for Covid-19 who are caught on the streets.
Sucre said that they are about to publish a decree by which they will establish that the National Police may arrest the person, and put him "in jail" or take him directly to a hotel-hospital.
There is no way back. It is not possible that they continue to endanger the health of others, he said.
He indicated that young people are underestimating the problem we have and that there are irresponsible people.
The problem is that if they are infected, as the curve shows, we take that virus to our homes and there contaminate our uncles, grandparents, parents and unfortunately they are the majority of those who are paying the price in this pandemic, he said.
The minister also reported that they are strengthening the curfew monitoring points.
