For his part, the National President reiterated his call to the Venezuelan population to maintain preventive and biosafety measures to stop the chain of infections.
«The quarantine was quite advanced. How is the coronavirus produced and arrives? By two main routes, the trail migrants who arrive at their homes and the street transmission, by getting into a bus, when going to the streets, or to some party around, then they catch it. The misuse, or the non-use of the face mask», stressed the Venezuelan president.
