The Social, Preventive and Mandatory Distancing implies that people can circulate, work and carry out their activities as long as they keep two meters away from each other.
For the entire country, it has been established the suspension of on-site classes and at all levels, the prohibition of circulation for those who are a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19, the exemption to attend work for certain risk people, and the prohibition of entry to the country for non-resident foreigners is extended until August 2.
The Social, Preventive and Mandatory Isolation will govern for the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, with the same limitations that have been in force since March 20, 2020 by order of Decree 297/2020.
