        March 16, 2020 | Coronavirus | Photo: Ernesto Ryan
        President Luis Lacalle Pou reported the new measures at a press conference.

        At a press conference on Monday, the government reported that Uruguay's cases of Covid-19, the disease causing the new coronavirus, rose to 29 after it was confirmed that a private laboratory was doing screening tests.

        The Minister of Public Health, Daniel Salinas, explained that eight cases were reported at this Sunday's conference, but in reality there were 12, since four others had been confirmed in a private laboratory without the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) being To the. The analyzes carried out in both laboratories indicate that on Monday afternoon there were 29 cases. The minister added that those who wish to do so may carry out the detection analysis in this private laboratory, at a cost of 3,000 pesos. He recognized that in the MSP virology laboratory, which centralized the analyzes at the beginning, "some bottleneck can be generated temporarily" and that is why it is coordinating so that, as of this Tuesday, the MSP laboratory authorizes and validates to the laboratory of the Institut Pasteur in Montevideo to do the analyzes. In addition, Salinas announced that three mutuals will start doing the tests. None of them are in the north of the country, so, for the moment, the analyzes will continue to be centralized in the capital, which implies an extra delay for those who live in the north of the country (the samples must be sent refrigerated and take several hours to arrive).

        President Luis Lacalle Pou explained that at the time of the press conference the government did not have all the information on the new cases because it prioritized giving it at the time of television news, he alleged. Salinas commented that all people with coronaviruses are stable, "several" have few symptoms and "an enormous majority" are at home. "In principle there is no case in CTI," he added. According to the minister, most of the new cases are linked to the original ones, but he could not specify what proportion the indigenous cases occupy or in which departments they are.

        Border closure

        For his part, Lacalle reported that this Monday afternoon he communicated via teleconference with "the majority of the presidents of South America", with whom they discussed the procedures that each country is applying. In the framework of this meeting, Uruguay decided to close the land, river and air border with Argentina starting at midnight, except for Uruguayans or foreigners residing in Uruguay (the measure does not include the transport of merchandise). He clarified that "it is not a total closure", but rather "a closure of income and not of exit", and explained that this resolution was taken because people from other countries, some of them European, were coming from Argentina to go to their country. He added that the President of Colombia "offered to act as a hub, so that nationals can enter, from the moment we are losing traffic so that Uruguayans return." He said that the Foreign Ministry is working on this issue and that "Uruguayans who are abroad have until Friday to do so."

        The closure of borders does not include Brazil because "it is more difficult when it is a dry border," said Lacalle Pou, although joint work will be done between the foreign ministries to implement some sanitary controls, at least in the border crossings where it is present customs.

        The Secretary of the Presidency, ?lvaro Delgado, listed another series of measures adopted in the last hours: the marinas are closed, a protocol for border crossing will be implemented, measures will be adopted to moderate the economic impact that the epidemic may have, in particular with regard to workers. He also said that the Consumer Defense Area of ​​the Ministry of Economy and Finance "will publish the prices of different products" linked to the prevention of Covid-19, without this implying that a price control is carried out. Furthermore, this portfolio analyzes "the direct importation of several of these inputs."

        Lacalle Pou called to become aware of this situation. "Thousands of Uruguayans have not yet become aware," he assured. He asked that those over 65 stay at home, because they are the most exposed to infections. Likewise, he exhorted employers to “look for the possibility of work” remotely and

                    Although the number of new cases fell in relation to that of previous days, Lacalle clarified that "according to what has happened in other countries, we are still waiting for the rebound or jump" of the disease, which had its first cases in the country on March 13.

                    He recalled that since the appearance of the first cases "high impact social isolation" measures were applied, including the suspension of education and public performances and the closing of the borders.

                    "Compliance is very great, without prejudice to which we are going to intensify the call for social isolation," the president said tonight at a press conference at the Executive Tower, the seat of government in Montevideo.
