Egresados. La historia detrás de los alumnos que llegaron de México con Covid
El ministro de Salud bonaerense y muchos padres sospechan de la validez del test que se hace en Cancún; los egresados viajaron todos por la misma empresa

Nicanor Santilli, 17, the son of Diego Santilli, vice chief of the Buenos Aires government, and journalist Nancy Pazos, was one of the students who returned infected from Mexico . He studies at St John's and they had him swabbed on Tuesday, March 9, to return to Argentina on Thursday, March 11. Although he noticed that he had symptoms before getting on the plane back, the hotel doctor diagnosed him with angina and he traveled the same.
“He was there with a fever and body ache. They swabbed him and he tested negative, then he went to the doctor and they told him he had tonsillitis, gave him an antipyretic and got on the plane. The boys were charged $ 100 for swabs in Mexico. When they arrived in Ezeiza, they swabbed at the posts set up by the city government and tested positive. So far, of the 65 who traveled, 21 tested positive, ”Pazos told LA NACION .
....
Another prominent name on the list of students was Agustín Riquelme, son of Juan Román Riquelme , the idol and today leader of Boca Juniors. Agustín traveled with infected companions from Cancun to Buenos Aires. Although he should have been isolated, on Sunday he was seen without a chinstrap at the Boca stadium watching the Superclásico.
In the DDJJ all travellers need to declare if they have recently had or have fever and body ache, regardless of any "test" result.
The more this story develops, the more it determines the next round of travel measures yet to be publicised by the government.
