Twenty days after the beginning of compulsory social isolation, the main monuments, avenues Y plazas from the center of the Buenos aires city they find each other half empty. But despite the porteños’ high compliance with the restrictions imposed by the Government, President Alberto Fernández expressed his concern at a “greater relaxation” in the streets of urban centers. For this reason, he announced that the quarantine “is not going to be relaxed” and urged residents to stay at home.

Despite the postcards obtained in the City of Buenos Aires, which it is far from being that bustling and constantly moving place to which we are accustomed, the situation seems to be different in other parts of the country.

In that sense, this Wednesday Alberto Fernández complained about a greater “relaxation” in the streets of urban centers. Therefore, he assured that will be “stricter” in compliance with the measure in areas such as Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
