The Constitutional President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro Moros, announced this Wednesday that he is reviewing the possibility of eliminating the 7 + 7 (strict quarantine) scheme, in order to go to a broad and conscious relaxation in the country.
“I’ve been thinking about loosening up widely and trusting that people will take care of themselves. I ask the Presidential Commission for Covid to study this proposal, I think it is time to go to a new phase and let the people move freely”, he said from the facilities of Industria Avelino C.A. in the Guarenas-Guatire axis of Miranda state, where he led a new productive Wednesday journey.
During this activity dedicated to agricultural production and the strengthening of agribusiness, the Head of State considered that Venezuela could enter into a phase of open monitored flexibility and eliminate 7 + 7, so that “people move freely, trade and work given that we reached 22 covid-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants”.
In this regard, he announced that next Sunday he could give announcements related to this new phase: “Maybe on Sunday we will make an announcement for the whole country, I think the time has come”, he said.
Faced with this possibility, the national president urged the Venezuelan population to increase compliance with anti-Covid measures, to avoid crowds and social gatherings, to ensure the containment of the virus throughout the country.
