The head of the Ministerial Cabinet, Ántero Flores Aráoz, reported today that on Sundays it will be possible to circulate again with private vehicles, a measure that will be applied from this weekend.

“You have to understand the people, you have to make corrections where it is necessary to rectify. At this time, it seems to us that it makes no sense to keep private vehicles without circulating on Sundays, ”he told the Andina Agency.

As he indicated, on Saturdays people tend to concentrate in markets or shopping centers due to the restriction on Sundays.

“Let's give back the possibility of using private vehicles on Sunday. We are doing that, as of this Sunday it will be possible to circulate with private vehicles as well, "he said after referring that the issue was discussed with the Minister of Health, Abel Salinas.

Regarding the continuity of the curfew, he mentioned "until now it would seem that it is necessary and if they believe that it should be studied, we will study it."

The ban on the use of private cars has been in force since September 20.

The measure was issued under the idea of avoiding the multiplication of family and friend visits, as well as trips to recreation centers where concentrations of people can occur and increase COVID-19 infections.
