The governor Omar Gutiérrez is evaluating the scope of the social isolation phase, preventive and mandatory in Neuquén capital, Plottier and Centenario, after the national government decided to back down due to the increase in cases of covid-19 in recent weeks.

The DNU indicates that, in conglomerates with less than 500,000 inhabitants, the governors may provide new exceptions to the fulfillment of social, preventive and compulsory isolation and to the prohibition of moving in order to authorize industrial, service, commercial, social, sports or recreational activities.
This is what Gutiérrez is analyzing for these hours, since he must ratify or back down with several items that were open so far: Liberal professions, private work, clothing stores, toy stores, bazaars, computers, among others, in addition to recreational and sports outings.
The intention until yesterday, before knowing the scope of the presidential decree, was to maintain the current measures and reevaluate the situation in a week.
The restrictions in Neuquén capital, until now, had not reversed with the opening of restaurants, bars, gyms and swimming pools, but the presidential DNU expressly prohibits them. Social gatherings had already been suspended before, when the regrowth of cases began.
The national standard establishes that displacement of people reached by the exceptions to the social, preventive and obligatory isolation and the prohibition to circulate they should be limited “to strict compliance with the authorized activity”.
