"President Alberto Fernández announced this Sunday that the Government is analyzing the announcement of a total cessation of activities in the country to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the face of winter, although he admitted that this measure would have significant negative consequences in the economic sphere.
"We are analyzing making a cut. Determine that for a certain period of time all the people stay at home. If we could make all the people stay at home for a whole week, we could stop the virus. But we must bear in mind that everything This has economic consequences, "said the President.
In this sense, he remarked that Argentina is "in recession": "We cannot let it deepen. Therefore, taking a measure such as stopping everything for 10 days so that people stay at home can generate many complications."
"People have to charge the same, because they will not die of coronavirus but they will starve," he said.
In dialogue with Radio 10, the Prime Minister reported that, in this regard, he is evaluating a series of measures with Economy Minister Martín Guzmán, about which he did not want to give further details.
