SANTIAGO - Chile’s health minister has urged Chileans to celebrate the country’s independence day holiday on Friday “prudently” amid fears that a special permit allowing people to hold and attend family gatherings could result in a spike in coronavirus cases.
This year, as Chile seeks to maintain an upper hand over the virus, the authorities have canceled the fairs. Health Minister Enrique Paris said Chileans had earned some enjoyment after months of lockdown but urged them not to throw away the gains against the coronavirus. “Let’s be careful and responsible, let’s comply with the rules, let’s beat the virus,” said Paris. “Just as our forefathers won freedom for Chile and gave us that freedom with effort and sacrifice, hopefully our citizens today will also take up that baton.”
