“It is Week 13 of this battle,” he said, “and we are going to rehearse 7 + 7, we have already completed 7 days of good flexibility and now we are going to 7 days of quarantine necessary to cut the Coronavirus transmission chains. It is the Venezuelan method for us to fight this difficult battle for humanity, not to have flare-ups like the United States has right now, not to have super-flare-ups like Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Chile.”
The president insisted on the need not to be negligent and to take this disease very seriously, given that it is an invisible and lethal enemy.
