Alberto Fernandez explained that once the diagnosis was confirmed, he communicated with all the people with whom he had meetings in the last 48 hours "to evaluate if they are in close contact so that they can isolate."

The Argentinena president called on the citizens to maintain the care and recommendations indicated by the State agencies to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.  "I ask everyone to protect themselves by following the recommendations in force.
